Technical Help / Ideas for saving my shorts?
« on: February 01, 2021, 15:35:38 PM »
Hello!
I made my first shorts last summer, with waistband and fly and I was super happy with them. I used a lovely soft chambery fabric.
After a few wears, the fabric send to be deteriorating at the back darts - the stitches seem to be straining against the weave of the fabric and I think the back seam will follow
I would love an opinion on how to fix and also should I have done something different?
I used a size 2 straight stitch and I thought this fabric was strong despite its soft texture. The pinkish line you can see was my dart line
