MissCelie said... I 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! 7/2/07 8:37 AM
Mary Stiefer said... Great looking T with lots of potential. 7/2/07 9:14 AM
Sherril Miller said... Long 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. 7/2/07 10:04 AM
Levone said... Great 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? 7/2/07 10:14 AM
cindyann said... Very nice. This looks like a great Tee pattern and you have gotten a perfect fit. 7/2/07 10:30 AM

Linda G said... a wonderful top, it fits to a tee!!! 7/2/07 1:02 PM
Mufffet said... WOW...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. 7/2/07 4:38 PM

dollieo said... Beautiful fabric it looks great. 7/2/07 7:09 PM
Sew4Fun said... Levone, 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 7/3/07 0:24 AM
MelissaB in WA said... Pretty top Belinda! Nice to know the sleeve from the first woman's issue fits. I love your fabric choice too! :-) 7/3/07 1:11 AM

Karla Kizer said... I think you just answered the burning question: what shall I trace this weekend? Your results are so inspiring..... 8/3/07 6:16 PM
Sew4Fun said... YummyMummy, 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. 8/3/07 6:39 PM
Schnauzer said... Beautiful work as always Belinda! Your top is gorgeous! 8/3/07 8:27 PM
