This fabric just does not want to be a dress!
This is just a venting post...
I decided I was going to try and sew my first garment using a pattern and I am ready to throw everything at the wall now! I swear, I will have two identical pieces and they still won't line up correctly, I don't understand the pattern (maybe I shouldn't have jumped right into vogue patterns), and sewing with acrylics is not easy!
Even though I picked the right size and measurements, looking at the pieces, I have no idea how on earth it is going to fit. My machine is jamming every chance it gets, I have already re-threaded it at least 8 times...and I've only been up an hour.
I'm just having a no good sewing day!

No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
Re: This fabric just does not want to be a dress!
I hear ya. the pattern I'm using right now is supposedly an easy pattern. The pieces definitely look huge for what I'm making, but I know once finish, it'll be much smaller.
Hang in there!
It's been a long time since I've sewn a dress, and I always had my grandmother's help if I got in a pickle. But, I wanted to give an unconventional suggestion. Go a head and throw it at the wall, shut the machine off, walk away for a half and hour and come back to it?
Sometimes, if I leave a project for a little bit and come back to it, it seems to help me.
I hope the day gets/got better for you!

This works. Sometimes so does swearing.
and if it makes you feel better, vogue patterns are tricky and acrylic can be as well.
come back to it in a day or two
I did bring the part I had to seam rip apart with me to do on my break today so at least I don't have that waiting for me at home anymore.
