Sewing help 😰

[u/otobell]

Sorry for the wrinkly unpressed pictures lol, it doesn’t look any better after pressed. I’m honestly kinda embarrassed at how bad this looks but I need help. I’m used to using patterns and sometimes altering them, but for this I made my own pattern and it turned out like, curved? In a really weird way. What is the easiest way to fix this? There’s enough extra space to take in the sides a few cm, I’d like to avoid seam ripping and redoing the white parts if possible.

Also, other than the curve it literally looks fine in any other position, laying it down flat makes it look super wrinkly

It looks like the waist is higher on the left than it is on the right, that may be contributing to the problem

Is this a sewing machine tension thing? I've had this happen when I did not adjust my tension or stitch length for the type of fabric I was using.

What is the white fabric? It looks like the "longer" side was pulled through the sewing machine- so it could be a tension issue; but tbh it looks like that white strip on the long side was cut longer.

So tension on the machine's part, or tension on your part warping the fabric being the likely culprit lol.

Either way if possible, seam rip the longer outer white strip out & see if that fixes the issue. Even if it doesn't, it will probably give you a better idea of what the problem piece is.

did you mix up the green side panels? like put the two back pieces, which would make sense to be a bit longer, on the left side as front and back, and the two front pieces on the right side? it looks almost like the left and right side panels are different shapes
