cindyann said... Very nice, Peggy. I think I need to add this to my wishlist. 2/13/08 11:46 AM
Re Becca said... Very, very nice for something so quick. The neckline is very flattering on you, so is the color. It is great that you will get so many tops from this one pattern. Those lbs. are definitely a camera trick! 2/13/08 11:47 AM
Annette1 said... GREAT top, Peggy! I have this pattern too, and yours has turned out so nicely, I'm inspired to find some knit to make one for myself. :o) 2/13/08 12:12 PM
carolynw said... Love it Peggy - nice review - was lookign at thsi pattern yesterday on the web and wasn't sure - maye will re-think after your recommendation 2/13/08 1:01 PM
cabinbaby said... Love you shirt and review. I have this one too; just haven't cut into it. 2/13/08 1:30 PM
PegL said... Great looking top! Your good review makes me want this pattern too. ;>) 2/13/08 2:04 PM
cindy-lou said... You look like a million-- no, a TRILLION! Love the top. Instant gratification is always a good thing-- even moreso when it looks like this! 2/13/08 2:45 PM
Debbie Cook said... Pretty top, Peggy! I like those colors on you. 2/13/08 2:55 PM
janetbrooke82 said... Cute top, mom! Will I be getting one in the mail soon? :) 2/13/08 3:14 PM
Peggy L said... Thanks everyone!! Yes, janetbrooke, in a week or two! Black print with solid black binding!!!! 2/13/08 3:27 PM
2BSewing said... Great looking knit top. I definitely need to get this pattern. Thanks for the review. 2/13/08 3:37 PM
Sherril Miller said... A very pretty top. I love the pattern and the way it makes you look so I guess I'm going to have to shell out the $$ for it. I'll tell Deepika to send you your cut. I don't see any extra 10 lbs. 2/13/08 6:01 PM
Deepika said... Lovely top Peggy. Looks so good on you. You need to make more. I am working on my 2nd one. This is a winner! 2/13/08 6:10 PM
j222b said... Thanks! I didn't know Jalie had internet instructions... "I did print them off the website so they would be more convenient." 2/13/08 6:23 PM
lilyofthevalley said... Peggy, I love the top on you and the fabric is lovely, too. Yes, in fact, the camera adds a good bit of weight, and even more if you point the lens at yourself 'straight on.' Stupid question, please: is it necessary to trace a Jalie pattern? Could I just cut out my size w/o tracing? -Lily 2/13/08 6:35 PM
cabinbaby said... Lily,
You can just cut them but, to me, it would be a bit of a waste. I love their patterns b/c they fit so well AND they have all sizes from toddler 2 to women's size 22. I can use this pattern for years and years if I just trace off the patterns. My girls are almost two now so they can go through a lot of sizes. :) If, however, you only want to use it on yourself, you could just cut them out. HTH. 2/13/08 6:40 PM
Peggy L said... Lily - like Cabinbaby said I would definitely trace. I have already traced this in 4 different sizes for other members of my family. Jalie's are sometimes a little hard to trace because there are so many sizes but the paper is nice and thick and I just "focus"! There are instructions you can print from the website for some of the more popular patterns - this is one of them. Give this one a try!!! 2/13/08 6:47 PM
Leora said... What a nice top!!! I need this pattern now that I've seen how great it looks on you. 2/13/08 8:36 PM

Patti B said... I like them both but especially love the polka dot trim. I'll take note of the forward shoulder idea for my #3. 4/26/08 3:47 PM
CSM--Carla said... Great looking top, Peggy L! Did you topstitch the front bands (just to the sides of the bust) as per the pattern instructions? It doesn't show up on your photos. I am making one of these now and the top stitching is wonky on this stretchy knit. Suggestions? Thank you for sharing! Carla 4/26/08 4:00 PM
Peggy L said... Carla - I did do that top stitching so the bands would lay flat. I did it in white on the polka dot fabric so it wouldn't show. 4/26/08 4:45 PM

Annette1 said... Oh, my gosh, how CUTE, with that polka-dot trim. :o) You'd have a tough time ever finding a RTW top as cute as this one, and if you did, it probably wouldn't fit nearly so well either. :o) 4/26/08 11:26 PM
blue mooney said... Love, love, LOVE this new one. The polkadot trim is inspired! I need to knock off your top - it would fit perfectly in my SWAP. 4/27/08 7:59 AM
