Vintage Joan said... You're the second reviewer to mention the snug fit of the sleeves and armbands, and neither one of you has upper arm issues (the previous reviewer thinks she does, but she hasn't seen my upper arms, lol). Thanks for the review and for explaining the sleeve issues. (BTW your "chef's hat sleeve" photo link isn't working.) 2/26/09 7:35 PM
Sew4Fun said... Thanks Joan for letting me know about the photo. It's working for me which is odd, but I'll see if I can track down the issue. 2/26/09 8:16 PM
Markie1 said... How nice of you to share your knowledge of a pattern you weren't in love with! Your muslin looks better than most of my finished products...thank you! 2/26/09 8:36 PM
Re Becca said... Great explanation of the sleeve band! The links were very helpful. The bands eve look small to me. 2/26/09 9:34 PM
QuiltersFan said... I actually think the muslin is very attractive - even or especially the sleeves. However, I understand the "its not working for me" pattern. I appreciate you review. 2/26/09 9:58 PM
morzel said... Very good review, thank you! The how-to for the sleeve band and the point about "what fabric to use" is very helpful. 2/27/09 2:43 AM
Miss Fairchild said... I had a blouse similar to this several years ago. I loved the design, as well as the color of the fabric, but when it came time to put it on, it too was too restrictive. Thank you for a thorough review! 2/27/09 8:29 AM
cindyann said... Great review! I love the way the sleeves look too. It's a shame that they are uncomfortable. 2/27/09 9:37 AM

amy in mpls said... Do the sleeves look less poofy with the muslin on? I recently ran across the same sit issues with a jacket i made, what a bummer huh! Thanks for your great review! 2/27/09 11:49 AM
