kmouse said... I love your top. The fabric you used makes this top truly one of a kind. Great job on the project and review. I also enjoy NL patterns as well as Simplicity now. Simplicity surely has come a long way.

Tiner W said... Adorable! 7/17/06 12:52 PM
Riordan said... Great placement of your print--the back is wonderful (glad you included a picture of it). Very nice! 7/17/06 1:23 PM
carolynw said... Very nice - the print looks so nice the way you placed it 7/17/06 2:00 PM
Elemenopeo said... That came out nicely. Great use of a small piece of fabric. 7/17/06 2:18 PM
milwaukee_kelly said... I love that sleeve! I may have to check this pattern out. 7/17/06 2:37 PM
jnamcd said... I have that pattern too and have yet to make that view. I think I will soon! I love your choice of fabric --it looks great! 7/17/06 4:04 PM
frame said... Very nice. 7/17/06 5:21 PM
sewbehind said... Your top is very nice. I like the fabric and the way that it does look different on the back than the front. Cool! 7/17/06 6:07 PM
CarolynGM said... You couldn't have done a better job of placing the print if you had had five yards available rather than 3/4. Tops don't get much cuter than this. 7/17/06 7:38 PM

JDpenelope said... What an awesome use of fabric for this pattern. I agree with Irina. You made the most of what you had. 7/18/06 8:37 PM
Ec said... Wow, what a great back view the top has!! That pattern is gorgeous, front and back - but the rear view is worth showing off - pull your hair up and people will remember you, for sure! 7/26/06 2:30 AM
Lori V said... What a gorgeous top, love your combination of fabrics. 8/4/06 10:49 PM
Vonnevo said... karen, I somehow missed your original review and wow, they are both stunning. Love the fabric placement on the short sleeve top. Thanks for sharing :)
NL6405 has to be one of the best top patterns around. 10/9/06 9:49 PM
khurtdvm said... Both your shirts came out great! I have this pattern - I really need to get it out and try it! 10/9/06 10:24 PM
Elona said... Ooooh, you got the end of that lovely, complicated Italian jersey from EOS! I was so tempted that I almost bought it, even though those are NOT my colors. It came out great for you. Your tops are gorgeous. 10/9/06 10:35 PM
Terri Smith said... I just made view A of this pattern. I only wish mine turned out as nice as yours. Great tops and fabric use. 10/9/06 10:56 PM

Ronda Rae said... The red/black top is gorgeous! 10/10/06 6:47 AM
cecelia said... You truly have a one of a kind shirt (short sleeve) and did an outstanding job with such a small amount of fabric. Nice long sleeve top too. Thanks--I've never sewn a New Look pattern before. 10/10/06 12:39 PM
AnneM said... Great tops. Superb pattern placement on your short-sleeve version. The long sleeve one will be a hit during the holidays, I'm certain. 10/10/06 12:51 PM
PegL said... I missed your original review. Both tops are spectacular! Very nice!! 10/10/06 10:25 PM
Mariko said... Yes, I agree with many reviewers, your placement of the print pattern is so impressive. I remember this fabric in the EOS site, and I thought I could not use that large pattern, but your shirt is an eye-opener. Thank you for your review! 10/15/06 2:07 PM
Kim Winson said... Great tops, Karen!! So cool. I've been eyeing this pattern because of all of the knits that I bought at PR weekend. I think you've convinced me to buy it :) 1/4/07 4:32 PM
Vintage Joan said... All three are great -- the short-sleeved one is awesome! The contrast back detail is very classy, and I'm really impressed with your masterful design placement, especially given that you had so little fabric and virtually none left over. Wow! 9/29/07 5:04 PM

Vintage Joan said... Another "wow" top -- my, you must be able to sew this pattern with your eyes closed by now! But (lol) obviously you don't, since this is gorrrrrrrgeous. 8/4/08 10:37 AM
