Which one did you use for the pants? Are the pants really that easy? No zipper or buttons? They're pull-ons? Also even though I have a serger, I'm afraid I've never used it---it scares me! Can I sew matte jersey on a regular machine? Thanks for any advice!<BR/>Jeannie W.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29717291.post-68617416827649155152008-11-20T17:46:00.000-05:002008-11-20T17:46:00.000-05:00Looking good, Girl.
