Is it more a matter of fill the seats? At least at this point you have enough to get going on your own to fit a bra that works, albeit through some trial and error. I've learned a lot about sewing that way! <br /><br />Such a shame.Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03672695141031447916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8469386917866922229.post-50806776454596089922011-09-26T22:52:16.570-04:002011-09-26T22:52:16.570-04:00It certainly does not sound like you got what was ...It certainly does not sound like you got what was marketed - I would be pretty annoyed too.

The fact that students who lacked sufficient sewing experience were allowed into the class is also inexcusable. The instructor should have labeled the class "advanced" and taught it at an advanced pace (such that everyone would be finished with their bra at the end). Students who can't handle the pace should sign up for a beginners or intermediate class instead. I'm not being a snob because *I'm* a beginning sewer, and I would never sign up for something so difficult! Hope you can make lemonade from your two ill-fitting lemons (bras).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8469386917866922229.post-35310024818290448252011-09-26T09:42:12.102-04:002011-09-26T09:42:12.102-04:00So sorry to hear about this.

She is the owner of the show and needs to be made aware of problems. Contact her on the ASE website. I would be totally pissed. I belong to a HUGE sewing group, and am going to ask if anyone there took that class, and if so, what their take on it is. I will let you know what I find out. Regardless, that doesn't help you with your current misfortune.gwensewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809115166600229262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8469386917866922229.post-81981638847095461272011-09-25T17:05:41.303-04:002011-09-25T17:05:41.303-04:00That is terrible, just terrible!

You just made me really glad I didn't take that class. Since the bra's that I like cost at least $80 and up, I have thought about making my own, but not if it is gonna look ugly and not even fit good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8469386917866922229.post-18726085622433692672011-09-25T16:24:05.087-04:002011-09-25T16:24:05.087-04:00What a shame and know you will make it work.What a shame and know you will make it work.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03688900287732221253noreply@blogger.com
