Agnes: I absolutely love the blouse. You did a wonderful job. Do you know if there is any way to obtain this magazine in Canada? Are most of the patterns this unique?

Outstanding. That is such a different blouse and kudos for working out the instructions all by yourself.

Oh, Agnes....A for finished project, and extra points for bravery. As much as I love Patrones, I tend to skip the designs that really require instructions. I am SO impressed. The shirt is a knockout. Congratulations (she said enviously.)

I think this would look great using it as a jacket over a flimsy little camisole. What a nice piece.

What a kewl blouse!! Wow - thanks for the review.
10/9/05 3:07 PM
WOW - I literally gasped when I saw your blouse. FAN-tastic!

beautiful! congratulations!

Your blouse is very nice. I would love to see a close-up of your fabric. I thought it was a crinkly rayon in the picture and surprised to find it had wool in it.

Kiro, I'm afraid I can't help you with a canadian seller of the magazine. But if you do a search on the message board you might come up with something. I know it has been topic of discussion before. I will make a close up of the fabric tomorrow (it's midnight here and this girl needs her beauty sleep). I know it looks a bit crinkly in the picture, but that's because I worked on it some more after ironing. I was to lazy to iron it again today. Thanks for the compliments!

What a great looking blouse.

I thought it was crinkly rayon too and loved the look. I like the crinkled look better than the ironed look. If I had any intention of going to that much work (or actually if I had the time), I think I would use a fabric to give me that look. Lovely shirt!

This is beautiful. Very couture. I bet you get a ton of compliments - on the style of the shirt itself and on your sewing skills.

That blouse is simply stunning! Great job, beautiful result and excellent reveiw. I have to get my hands on Patrones! -Ann

Just stunning, Agnes...well done!

Incredible, designer looking blouse. How can you be a beginner?
10/9/05 7:34 PM
I am floored! Gorgeous! And sometihng else - time for reality check... You are not a beginner any more!
10/9/05 9:09 PM
I am speechless! It's so stunning! Boy, would I ever like to get my hands on this copy of Patrones....
10/9/05 9:41 PM
Stunning! Absolutely fabulous!

Wow, this top is amazing! I love it. It looks like an expensive designer item!

Agnes, very well done, this was one of my DD's favorites in this particular mag, I'm still loooking for that perfect fabric for it.
10/10/05 0:21 AM
OK, they are still available on this site:http://www.marlofashionmagazines. There was this particular issue and also the next one #229 which was even better, you might want to try there.

Thanks, for adding the fabric swatch, Agnes. That is really cool fabric.
10/10/05 1:09 AM
Love the shirt - and the review is great, thanks! I have my first issue of Patrones but haven't tried a pattern from it yet - I hope it turns out as well as yours when I do!

Fantastic designer blouse Ågnes. Even more so knowing you did it with no instructions.
10/10/05 5:08 AM
This is so impressive...I love it! Great review too.
10/10/05 5:08 AM
What an unusual and interesting blouse, and a very pretty fabric! I agree with the others that you should upgrade your sewing skills.
10/10/05 5:26 AM
Lovely and exceptional blouse. You deserve numerouse kudos for accomplishing this project.
10/10/05 5:38 AM
Picture me standing on my computer chair applauding! Tell me please-how did you put in eyelets??
10/10/05 6:02 AM
With a blouse like that, if your only mistake was having the buttons show you did very well. Great job.
10/10/05 7:08 AM
That is THE coolest blouse-love it! Great job! Kay
10/10/05 9:08 AM
That is the most awesome blouse I've ever seen!
10/10/05 9:36 AM
Gosh, I don't really know what to say......I guess I've never been very good with compliments. I put the eyelets in with the Dritz eyelet plier, I couldn't imagine trying to hammer them all in. I love the pliers (I bought them especially for this project), you can work very quickly and precise with them. I know I'm going to have a lot more fun with them. With a goth for a daughter eyelets, etc. are in high demand!

What a wonderful stylish blouse. I love all the design details and you executed each one so well.
10/10/05 7:05 PM
This is a stunning project!!
10/10/05 7:07 PM
