hi robkamm, thanks. I'm really impatient too. I'll try what you suggested, thanks again

I'm a High school student and what I love about sewing is that I can use it to forget about everything that's stressing me out. While I'm sewing or embroidering or whatever I'm doing I find it so peaceful. My school really focuses on texiles, so I guess that also contributes to how much I love it. We have free after school sewing classes until about 6pm, they are always so much fun.

I recently made a skirt following a macalls pattern and it ended up 4 sizes too big.
A friend of mine made a dress with the same brand pattern, again way too big.
Has anyone else had bad experiences with macalls misses patterns?
