Pattern with more than 5 reviews! << Previous Review Next Review >> | Reader Comments | | RachelEsq | 11/4/09 | I LOVE this. What a stand-out, but very wearble-looking top. I like the color, and how you made even more ruffles. Was the neckline binding easy to attach? | | * * * | | Re Becca | 11/4/09 | That looks so stunning on you! the ruffle is just perfect.

How did you edge finish so beautifully their hems? | | * * * | | FullertonRegan | 11/5/09 | Squee! Thanks all you lovely commenters!! RachelEsq, the pattern itself gives instructions for a French Binding, which I would have used anyway. I actually prefer the technique as described in Claire Schaffer's "High Fashion Sewing Secrets" (which I have checked out perpetually from my local library). She give a little more detail than this pattern (namely, hand basting the bias tape down once it's attached and then stitching in the ditch vs. pinning it and stitching in the ditch -- small nuance, but made all the difference in the world to me and my skill level), and I always like that. I think it's super easy, and I am not a fan of binding. HawkeMorningStar7 - The ruffle piece is folded in half lengthwise and then attached, so the edge you see is the folded edge. I didn't finish the raw edge that's attached to the shirt, so who knows what'll happen when this goes in the wash, lol! I can send you some more pictures if you still have questions. :) | | * * * | | Allie in Hong Kong | 11/5/09 | Oh goody, I just ordered this pattern and now can't wait to make it, I love your version. | | * * * | | nicegirl | 11/5/09 | Very cute! You really made the most of this fabric. | | * * * | | LollyVee | 11/6/09 | Fabulous top..it will look great under a jacket with the ruffle sticking out! | | * * * | |
