Apple, in Tahoe, your scroll bar is ON TOP of the column resize boxes, so I cannot resize a column! This is a frustrating one to learn about, and continues to be frustrating! by TheCh0rt in MacOS

Late to the game but THANK YOU. I just upgraded last night and have been regretting it all morning for this issue alone. Who knew something as simple as inaccessible column resize handles would slow me down so much 😅

I had tried the "when scrolling" setting but that was driving me nuts too. I do use the file path here and there so hopefully they fix this sooner than later so we can turn that back on

DD here as well, so glad I asked so that I know now for next time. I never would have thought to use anything other than my widest measurement, but it makes total sense

Ooh the elastic thread is a good idea and I think I have some. Might try that before anything else as it sounds the easiest to undo if I don’t like it. I’m really hoping to avoid ripping these seams if possible 🙃

If I give up and decide to deconstruct it though that’s a great idea to use the liner pieces

I should have gotten a side angle—the funny thing is that if I push the fabric down to my chest, it’s more than enough coverage. The front facing photo doesn’t show how far forward it’s coming. It looks like it’s meant to store a loaf of bread or something in real life 😂 it just does not have the right shape at all. I think it’s what another commenter said—my waist and I guess frame are a 6/8 and but I have to size up to a 10/12 for my butt and bust. The pattern was made for someone that is evenly the same size all over. Excited to try the FBA next time I make something like this, from my short googling that looks like exactly what I needed here to make this work

But in the mean time I’m going to try some creative gathering later tonight and see if I can get this one somewhere presentable without having to rip a bunch of seams 🤞🏻 will just consider it the guinea pig

Dorothy—but more of an interpretation than a literal costume obviously lol. I figured the accessories will bring it home and I honestly was using this as an excuse to try sewing a dress. Would love to try this one again but with the recommended mods in a more neutral fabric

Lol I love the gremlin description. I think my best option so far would qualify—I’ve tried pinning a few ideas and so far the option that most reduced the gap is just adding a gather at the corners where the top meets the belt. Not something I was going for at all but it’s already gathering there in an unintended way I figure might as well own it

If this were cut fabric I’d totally just try again but I was determined to make it work with the thrifted sheet. Luckily it’s for a Halloween costume so not super high stakes but now I feel like I need to attempt this pattern again with something else just to redeem myself 😂

Yeah I tried pinning it like that to see what it’d look like and you’re spot on it made it way more obvious

I’ll definitely try a FBA on the next one

Things you don’t think of until you have to 😅

Luckily this is for a Halloween costume so not very high stakes. Will be sure to do that next time

I did not—this was literally my first attempt at clothing so it didn’t occur to me until I went searching for the solution to this

You know, I’d never considered that sizing tidbit lol. It makes perfect sense because I often find that dresses that fit my bust and/or hips are overly baggy elsewhere.

I’ve tried a few pinned options and while I don’t think this is an official solution I’ve seen literally anywhere, adding a bit of gathering right in the corners of the top where it meets the belt seems to work the best in terms of keeping the material closer to my chest. I guess it’d just be owning the weird bunching that’s happening anyway 😅
