busy91 8/26/07I really like the fabric. It came out great.

brrmm 8/26/07Thanks for your very helpful review. May give this one a go with your sleeve option too. Your top looks fabulous, great work.

AngieC 8/26/07I absolutely love your shirt! Love the fabric too... just perfect.
* * *
Immelu 8/26/07That fabric is fantastic! Great job of showing it off!
* * *
Linda G 8/26/07I have traced that pattern but never sewn it....thanks for the info on the neckline...I think I may have already raised it...I will have to look and see how much. I like your sleeve idea. Yes I was also surprised when I realized that the back wrapped around into the front. Your fabric is absolutely wonderful.

Lois K. 8/27/07I love your fabric & the finished tee shirt looks great!

Helen (near Sydney) 8/27/07I think you could start riots with this one anyway! it's gorgeous and thankyou for an excellent review. I have just spent the past 1/2 hour trawling through Spandex House's website.
* * *
Squeezylemon 8/27/07Loved your fabric choice - and great idea about the sleeves! I made it in stretch lace and in hindsight no sleeve seam would have made a nicer finish....
* * *
Linda L 8/27/07Love this fabric!!!! Made into a great looking T, sort of Chico style. Love the look of the scoop neck, who would have thought it would be so low!
* * *
Cidell 8/27/07Lovely fabric, beautiful top and look at your perfectly flat neck binding. Love it.
* * *
Marji 8/27/07Very cute fabric for that top. Congrats on conquering the issues and getting it finished up.
* * *
Levone 8/27/07Nice tee!
* * *
Luckylibbet 8/27/07Gorgeous tee - I adore your fabric, drool, drool.

slanden99 8/27/07Love your top! nice job on it
* * *
Stacy Sews 8/27/07Wow, I love this top! The fabric is fabulous too.
* * *
Sew4Fun 8/27/07Nice tee, nice fabric and thanks for all the detailed info on the pattern.
* * *
fuzzygalore 8/29/07Yes, you're doing the sleeves the way the Textile Studio madison top is for instance, raglans with a shoulder dart. I agree that's much better. Thanks for the description of pattern pieces, it makes more sense!
* * *
Isabella Julia 8/29/07I love your top. Thanks for the very helpful advice about the sleeves. Am puzzled as to why Burda WOF tops are all so low in the neck?
* * *
tweedcurtain 8/30/07Thanks for an extremely useful review. Your top looks great and was obviously worth the extra time it took to figure out how to achieve the fit and comfort you want.
* * *
Deepika 2/19/08Karen, I am about to make this pattern so your sleeve adjustment tips are a real help. Thanks for the review.
* * *
Athene 7/15/08This is a gorgeous top - I love the fabric. Thank you for the very helpful review.
* * *
elzondriel 11/7/09I am grateful for this detailed review; I have just bought Burda 7832, which is the same design, and I'm hoping to make it work for me!
