| Jayme | 10/2/06 | Very nice tee's!!! I have really taken to rebuilding t-shirts as well. My daughters are continually bringing me "rebuilds"! You should send your pictures to Kwik Sew - they have such great patterns, but I feel their drawings never do their patterns justice! |

| sewbehind | 10/2/06 | Beautiful T-shirt, elegant to boot! This is now on my must do list.

| Princess Jenny | 10/2/06 | Wow! They are all beautiful.
I see why this pattern is one of your favorites. You picked such lovely materials each time, too :) |

| LoriV | 10/2/06 | Those are so very pretty, great job. |

| Mrs.Moos | 10/2/06 | Karen--I am assuming you did the scoop neck view? I "made over" a T-shirt using this pattern but had to use the high neck due to the screenprinting placement. I like the look of the scoop neck SO much better though. Your shirts are great and great choices on the fabric. I must try this pattern on something other that a T-shirt makeover! |

| Ronda65 | 10/2/06 | I love your tees! I wish I could make some of these. I don't have a serger (yet) and can't seem to do it right on the regular SM. Your material choices are great, too! |

| Sew4Fun | 10/2/06 | Great tees! I love your fabric choices too. I can see why this pattern is a favourite. |

| Irina | 10/2/06 | My goodness, your are a very prolific producer of t-shirts! The neckline is gorgeous, and they all look very professional. Is this a fairly close-fitting tee, or is there some ease? |

| ryan's mom | 10/3/06 | Great tee, great fit! |

| AnneM | 10/3/06 | Great T, and a great pattern for fun fabrics. I need to get myself a TNT t-shirt pattern. |

| mClones | 10/3/06 | Love them all. Great fabric choices. |

| Karen6790 | 10/3/06 | Ronda, I do these on the regular machine - haven't accumulated a serger yet either. I do them on a small zigzag or straight stitch, depending on the amount of stretch in the fabric.
Irina, I've made it into a fairly close-fitting tee, but you can definitely add some ease. It's a very cooperative pattern. |

| Harriet Rogers | 10/3/06 | Love all of your versions. I also have a favorite KS pattern: No 3161. I've used EOS fabric for the short sleeved and long sleeved versions, each made at least twice. It's great when one finds a pattern that just WORKS, isn't it? Thanks for sharing. |

| Karen8320 | 3/17/08 | Karen, this is stunning fabric!!! Absolutely gorgeous! I'm sure you'll look a knockout wearing this top. Everything about it looks great. |

| Dale C | 3/18/08 | That's neat how you placed the dark line under the bust. It makes it look like there's an empire seam there... and it "lifts" the bust. That fabric is great. |
| * * * |
| LoriV | 3/18/08 | Another winner and I like the fabric placement. |
