Sew4Fun said... Sherril, you made some lovely summer tops. They are all very flattering and I like the idea of the decorative elastic on the sleeve. This pattern is becoming popular and it's no wonder. It looks so good on everyone. 7/4/07 2:14 AM
Danvillegirl said... Very nice tops. Love the summery look and feel. 7/4/07 7:09 AM

dbsewer said... Wow, you're all set for summer. Love your fabric choices and they all look great on you. 7/4/07 8:13 AM
jnamcd said... These all 3 look awesome on you! And I too, love the decorative elastic! Excellent job on all of them!

AnneM said... Love all the tops. (Funny on the bitter comment! I only have to make a few alterations and even then it can be a pain.) My fav is the headline picture. What a beautiful print; I just adore abstract prints like that. The top has basically classic lines, so you CAN make lots of different versions. 7/4/07 11:51 AM
JenSews2 said... Wow, they look great! 7/4/07 1:12 PM
bunz said... Sherril, you sure put on some speed when you want to! LOL Your tops look so good on you and you've achieved fantastic fit. Kudos! 7/4/07 3:27 PM
CherylStillSews said... Great tops - there are so many great review on this I really must try it. 7/4/07 6:24 PM
Levone said... Great looking tops! I can't wait to try this one. 7/4/07 11:16 PM
Donna H said... Wow, Sherril...great looking tops. And is that your UY in that one closeup??? :) 7/5/07 1:49 AM
mssewcrazy said... Your tops make me really happy I was able to buy this issue (first for me). It is so hard for a plus to get a fabulous top. Are the capri pants from this issue also? Your suits look great. I surely wouldn't stop at a couple either but just add 3/4 sleeves and lengthen pants for winter. 7/5/07 6:49 AM
mssewcrazy said... I am sorry for asking about the capris - I had not yet read your other review on the simplicity jr pattern which I also purchased oop after reading about it several months ago when you discussed it. If I ever get through having company,grands, and the garden stops I will sew some of your cute patterns. I seem to like all your choices in patterns. 7/5/07 6:56 AM
nimble said... Those are all so cute and you look fabulous in them! It really IS flattering to a full bust! 7/5/07 8:18 AM
OP Gal said... Great looking tops, Sherril. I think you're being too hard on yourself about the how the back fits. It looks wonderful--way better than RTW! 7/5/07 10:05 AM
Debbie Cook said... These tees are *very* flattering to you. I think my favorite is the floral with the white background. I really like that fabric, and the neckline seems to be wider/deeper too. Did you put a CB seam into all the tops? Oh, love the pink flip flops too. 7/5/07 11:37 AM
Marji said... v nice fit, flattering top.
I can see why you'd want a whole closet full of these. 7/5/07 11:51 AM
Mufffet said... Great top. I am working on the view 2 top in that Ottobre. I do have to make adjustments too - review to come. Your work inspires me - I still have trouble getting the binding just right, but yes, I love that the pattern piece is just right! Their patterns do fit well. 7/5/07 1:25 PM
slanden99 said... Pretty top. Looks great on you. 7/5/07 3:26 PM
ginaT said... Sherril, You look ****FABULOUS **** 7/5/07 9:12 PM
aunt saidee said... Wonderful tops, Sherril; you inspire me! I bought this issue just for this top, though also thought that some of the other designs would appeal to my 32 yo niece. I read your other review: it's nice that we who are well-endowed with "chest appendages" are being taken care of at last! Great review--I especially like the fit on the interlocks. 7/6/07 3:06 AM
Cathy Loves Fabric said... Ok, I give. I ordered the Ottobre Women's Magazine. I just love this top and the extra length on the sleeve. Very, very cute on you. The capris are cute too! 7/6/07 4:11 PM
angie.a said... I love all these Sherrill! I feel your bitterness, LOL. Even tho I didn't make any alt's to this one :D 8/11/07 11:55 AM
mssewcrazy said... Your new top like the others is fabulous. I would have never guessed you used the ottobre view on this. I love the lace -it looks like expensive rtw or better. Everyone of these looks so different. I think I need to get busy and trace this thing. I can never just make something either-all the tracing and pattern remaking just wear me down and then I still get something that needs work. I am glad you got this pattern perfect and can enjoy sewing it. 7/30/08 8:17 AM
