Re Becca said... That looks maahvelous! Meeoow. When are they going to realize that that is the hard way to put in knit sleeves? 2/5/09 9:30 AM
Frogstitcher said... Very stylish. I like that you added the tie belt and dressed up this basic tee. Thanks for heads-up on noting that the neckline may be a little wide. For someone like me who has narrow shoulders, this is great info to have prior to tracing the pattern. 2/5/09 10:01 AM
pterion said... Great style for you! I just started subscribing and thought this top would be a good 'first BWOF'. Thanks for the review! 2/5/09 10:22 AM
Michelle L said... Adorable! I lovelovelove the fabric! Thanks for the hint on the neckline, I am forever forgetting to stabilize or staystitch. 2/5/09 10:35 AM
Sigrid. said... Beautiful, thanks for the info on the neckline. This is one of the (many) items I wish to make from the February issue. 2/5/09 10:59 AM

2BSewing said... Your version looks great on you. I saw this, but wasn't sure how the neckline would look on me. You've confirmed that I need to try it. Thanks for the tip on how the neckline behaves. 2/5/09 11:58 AM

Karendee said... Great top; I love this pattern. 2/5/09 1:59 PM
Annette1 said... Great review, clear and concise. LOVE your new top, especially the bateau neck and your fun print! :o) It's especially nice that you can whip this one up so quickly (even WITHOUT a serger or coverstitch, of which I have neither). :o) 2/5/09 2:04 PM
JamieLiz said... Very nice. Love the print! 2/5/09 2:36 PM
persevering said... Can you tell me how you stabilized the neckline? (I haven't done a knit yet.) The style is quite becoming on you. Thanks for your review. 2/5/09 2:53 PM
CynthiaSue said... great print on you. thank you for the always so complete sewing instructions! 2/5/09 3:44 PM

nicegirl said... Great top! The fabric is so fun and the neckline is flattering. 2/5/09 5:40 PM
Heatherrique said... Thanks everyone for the kind words! You are tempting me to make more! To Persevering, I edited the section on "other features" to include the method I use to finish a knit neckline. Using invisible elastic is popular. You can also search the database for other ingenious ways. 2/5/09 6:17 PM
Catbird said... Great top! Wasn't the February issue just loaded with good things? This one caught my eye too -- classic and simple design that we can't get enough of. Thanks for the review! 2/5/09 8:02 PM

Heidi Ho said... Your top is very cute. You are quick! I just got my issue yesterday and haven't even finished drooling over all the cute styles in it and you've already got something made!! I like the top a lot and was thinking I'd make it myself...very very becoming and a great print too! 2/5/09 9:06 PM
persevering said... Thank you for answer - I feel more confident now about making a knit top.
Also, about the slippage feeling on the shoulders:- If you haven't already, making & attaching 'bra strap holders" (or whatever they are called) could alleviate a potential slippage and keep this top wearable - it is a real winner! Thanks again! 2/6/09 0:29 AM
Karen8320 said... Now this is one top that definitely belongs in a Duran Duran video clip! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lv6Cr5LZStE comes to mind) Louella, this is one very sleek and smart top and you look really fabulous in it! I love the fabric. Simon Le Bon would notice you straight away! Great work! 2/6/09 0:53 AM
Seamingly Simple said... Gosh, my February issue hasn't even arrived yet, and you have completed a garment from it! The neckline is really flattering and draws attention to your lovely face. 2/6/09 7:40 AM
