EastwoodFan said... I made this top too...View A, and I tapered it out from the waist and lengthened it, but I haven't tried it on yet, to see how it fits, but hopefully ok. Your version is cute! I like the idea of using the contrasting band at the hemline. 7/24/07 3:04 PM

I've been trying to avoid them by picking more "flowy" patterns as my first projects. ;)
