I was so pleased to see PR is finally offering Christine Jonson's patterns. If you haven't tried the BaseWearTwo pattern yet, it has the world's best fitting tee shirt. I use this pattern as the basis for all my knit tops and simply alter the neckline to get the style I want.

My other favorites include the Double Collar Princess Jacket, the Fitted Jacket, the Taper & Wide Let Pant, and the Cross Your Heart & V-Neck Tee.

I agree...all of her patterns are VERY well drafted, and she has a lot of good industry techniques to get really great results!

My figure is enough like yours that if that pattern worked well for you, it would probably work well for me also!

She has some nice styles.

Anne, you really should try the BaseWearTwo tee shirt --it has an extremely flattering RTW fit.

I have the new Travel Trio Two pattern. I've made the turtleneck pattern at this point, and it's very nice! I'll write a review in the next week...good to see her patterns being sold on PR now!

I bought the Base Wear Two on Nancy's recommendation and recently made a turtleneck with a doubled tneck for warmth. Good pattern and good results. I can't enthuse yet because both tops I've made so far have been out of athletic wear knit and I think I'll get much better results when I use fashionable fabric.

I just made the funnel neck top from the Travel Trio 2 pattern and I love it. Will also do a review this week.

Mermie and pterion, I can't wait to read your reviews. I love funnel necks and own this pattern. If I ever finish the Jalie jacket, I hope to sew something for moi!

The best thing about the BW2 is that you can do everything from athletic knit to "fancy" fabric, and they will all look great!

It is a good pattern to transfer "designer details"on. I have also made a cardigan out of it!

I can't wait to see our reviews! I traced out two of her patterns recently, but haven't had the time to cut out fabric. I will post as I do these.
These patterns have a very different idea on how to fit them. I look forward to making them

So much to do, but having fun trying to do all of it!
