Me Made May – Cynthia Rowley Dress + Fabric HELP!

Uncategorized
This is the second time I’ve used this pattern, and I really like it.  Its quick and easy to sew, and doesn’t use a ton of fabric.  I was able to cut this remnant of blue and black jersey I’ve had for a while, trimmed with some black organic cotton jersey.

I’m really happy with the dress, and I’ve worn it twice BUT after washing it, the blue and black jersey is starting to “tear” along the stitching lines.  I used a ball point needle and serged my seams, so I’m not sure what’s happening.  Maybe it was just a cheap fabric? Has this ever happened to you?  I really love this dress, and I’d like to be able to save it!
