| Karla Kizer | 2/14/08 | PR was started because you were discouraged by blouse patterns (Simplicity, I think), so this project is especially appropriate. Hope it turns out to be perfect - and Happy Birthday! |

| Deepika | 2/14/08 | Hi Karla, Yes I remember that! I made good progress last night. The only thing left is, sleeves, hems and buttonholes. Yay! Can I complete it today? We'll find out. Thanks for the b'day wishes! |

| Patti B | 2/14/08 | Love your comment about sewing slowly being weirdly satisfying! As Cynthia Guffey says "it's your hobby, what's your hurry?" |

| Ronda65 | 2/14/08 | I love the color. Have you decided on buttons? Some silver or pewter would look really nice! It's coming along nicely. |

| Deepika | 2/15/08 | Thanks for the b'day wishes everyone! I had a great day yesterday. OK I love this WIP feature. Rhonda I would have never thought of silver or pewter buttons but I think that's exactly what I am going to get. Thanks!!!! |

| Leora | 2/19/08 | I recently stood in line behind a woman who was wearing a shirt with this type of cuff. I think it is so attractive and a nice change! |

| Re Becca | 2/19/08 | beautiful! I am sure that you will be able to wear this for a long time and it will be very worth the time you spent on the collar band and the hand sewing. |

| Hilary | 2/19/08 | Oh, Deepika, it's *gorgeous* on you! You did a beautiful job on this-and I love the buttons-in fact I have been hoarding those exact buttons in my stash waiting for just the right project, LOL! Now I wish I had this pattern too (who knows, maybe I can find it!). Thanks for the great review! Enjoy your new blouse :o) |

| lilyofthevalley | 2/19/08 | Deepika, your blouse is pristine. The rolled hems, the perfect collar and sleeve cap, the gentle turquoise w/silver accents - all lend an ethereal quality to this beautifully fitted work of Art. Just beautiful. -Lily |

| fuzzygalore | 2/19/08 | Oh but Deepeka, good-quality linen improves with washing... Why don't you wash the scraps in the machine a few times, just to see how it behaves? Then you can wash with confidence..
And yes, it's gorgeous :-). |

| * * * |
| Nancywin | 2/21/08 | Your blouse looks great. The first thing I noticed was (what I thought was) the silver "piping" After reading your review, I realized it is trim and you even hand stitched it! You have every right to be proud of this project. I look forward to seeing it at PR weekend! |

| SandraB | 2/27/08 | This is so pretty Deepika. Too bad it is an out of print pattern. I would buy it in a heart beat. |
| * * * |
| Deepika | 2/28/08 | Sandra Burda 7936 is a similar pattern but it has cap sleeves. Drafting a flounce is super easy. I wrote a tip on creating a flounce. |
