zora 7/2/07Looks great on you!
* * *
scrappycat 7/2/07Very nice! The neckline does look just right. I am always searching for a neckline that is not too low.
* * *
Vonnevo 7/2/07Noice Belinda :))
* * *
Cidell 7/2/07I wish I had a Kath & Kim reference like Vonnevo, so I'll just say great fit and looks good. I wish I was better at measuring and getting it right!
* * *
Mary Stiefer 7/2/07Great looking T with lots of potential.
* * *
Sherril Miller 7/2/07Long sleeves, great idea. This is my current favorite t-shirt pattern. I just made two and have another already cut. Going up a size worked out nice as you have a great fit and love the fabric too.
* * *
Levone 7/2/07Great looking tee....I have this one traced and ready to go, although I think I better go up a size as well. Also thanks for mentioning you didn't use the binding piece provided. For some reason, I thought since there were gathers I wouldn't be able to apply binding via the coverstitch. Did you use something to hold the gathers while you applied the binding?
* * *
cindyann 7/2/07Very nice. This looks like a great Tee pattern and you have gotten a perfect fit.
* * *
Tiner 7/2/07I like it!
* * *
Debbie Cook 7/2/07Another winner from Ottobre! Great fabric, Belinda!
* * *
sewbehind 7/2/07That T-shirt is a keeper. Great fit.
* * *
bunz 7/2/07And very pretty colors for you!
* * *
Linda G 7/2/07a wonderful top, it fits to a tee!!!
* * *
muffet 7/2/07WOW...love the fit, the style and the fabric. I love that the armhole is in a good place on Ottobre patterns - nice and high! I have a top from this issue cut out and this time I am hoping I can use it as is with just petiting. So I did that and now we'll see.
* * *
CherylStillSews 7/2/07Great tee. I bought some of this fabric after your last review and I love it.
* * *
LoriV 7/2/07Wonderful top.
* * *
Schnauzer 7/2/07Nice tee Belinda! Love that fabric too.
* * *
dollieo 7/2/07Beautiful fabric it looks great.
* * *
Sew4Fun 7/3/07Levone, I stitched a piece of washaway stabiliser behind the gathers so they wouldn't shift when run through the binder. I wrote a post on my blog about this - Sew4Fun Blog
* * *
MelissaB in WA 7/3/07Pretty top Belinda! Nice to know the sleeve from the first woman's issue fits. I love your fabric choice too! :-)
* * *
lorelle 7/3/07Great t shirt, beautiful fabric. Thanks for the tip about the washaway stabilizer.
* * *
OP Gal 7/3/07Great looking top, and it fits beautifully.
* * *
martinanne 7/3/07Fabulous fit! Thank you so much for letting us know the sleeve from last year's OW fits on this t-shirt. Good to know!!
* * *
slanden99 7/3/07Very pretty top. Looks great on you
* * *
LiZ 7/3/07I love your Tee and the fabric is very pretty.
* * *
keelyb1 7/4/07Very nice, Belinda :)
* * *
Judy Williment 7/4/07Perfect - fit, colour, finish. This one's not just a keeper, it's a make-several-copies-in-case-you-lose-the-master!
* * *
Gold 7/16/07Nicely made!!
* * *
MelissaB in WA 7/16/07Love the new tops, they are both gorgeous!!!!
* * *
Irina 7/16/07I love all three tops. What a great pattern.
* * *
Sherril Miller 7/16/07Your new tops are just as lovely as the first one. I've made this one three times already too.
* * *
hongkongshopper 7/16/07Love them all, but version 2 is my fav!
* * *
Rhoda K 7/16/07Love all versions and fabrics! I admire your talent and love your reviews.
* * *
franticfashion 8/3/07Lovely! Your stuff looks always so professional.
* * *
GirlWhoGames 8/3/07Very pretty!
* * *
yummymummy38 8/3/07there are all pretty fabrics for your tops, Belinda, the coverstitch neckline looks so RTW. Is rayon/lycra OK to go in the regular wash?
* * *
Linda G 8/3/07Another great top. Your neckline looks so professional.
* * *
bunz 8/3/07Very pretty colors for you. I wanna coverstitch machine - waaaaaaahh!
* * *
GailMV 8/3/07Yay! "Kath and Kim" references!!!!! I'm glad I'm not the only American who 'lerves" that show! "And by the way, I do "lerve" your shirts!!!
* * *
kim*brown 8/3/07What a great top to take into fall!
* * *
AngieC 8/3/07I just love this top on you! And all the fabrics too~
* * *
Karla Kizer 8/3/07I think you just answered the burning question: what shall I trace this weekend? Your results are so inspiring.....
* * *
Sew4Fun 8/3/07YummyMummy, yes rayon/lycra jersey is fine in the wash, as long as you pre-wash twice. It's a much more stable fabric these days than it use to be. I also toss it in a hot dryer to be sure it has done all the shrinking it's going to do beforehand.
* * *
Schnauzer 8/3/07Beautiful work as always Belinda! Your top is gorgeous!
* * *
Antie 8/3/07What beautiful choices of fabric, they all look great!.
* * *
mdhomemaker 8/4/07Wow! so very professional work! I hope one day I can sew on rayon lycra like you do! very beautiful! rebecca
* * *
muffet 8/5/07WOW...getting better and better - what cute tops!
