Sweeta 4/1/06Love the review! Great pictures of great work! Beautiful embroidery and topstitching!

Shelia in Alaska 4/1/06I love your denim version and the linen pants look wonderful on you. I think it's awesome that these fit you out of the envelope. That rarely happens so it was definitely a rare jewel to find!

Kay Romo 4/1/06Nice job!
* * *
Liane McConnell 4/1/06Great review, thanks for all the info. Your pants are great. I've had good luck with tops from this line, but haven't tried the pants yet. Guess that will be changing this weekend. I would love to read your review of the top, if you decide to make it.

Ronda65 4/1/06It looks great on you!

KatyaInMA 4/1/06What a pleasant surprise - and you got 3 pairs of wearable pants out of this! I even like the first muslin - the print makes it funky and fun. The final linen makes a nice pair of dress pants and your detailed denim looks great too!
