CTBarb said... Wow, I love this blouse. How hard was the tucking on the band? I am such a scaredy cat when it comes to details like this, but you did it so well that it makes the finished product look very "one of a kind." Bravo! 6/10/09 3:59 PM

wendlesue said... the tucking was pretty easy on this cotton shirting fabric. You just press along the guideline, then sew 1/4" from your crease, then press the tuck down and move to the next tuck. Just takes a little time, and mine are definitely not perfect. 6/10/09 5:52 PM
sewbehind said... Beautiful blouse. The pattern is great. Too bad it is out of print. :( 6/10/09 6:03 PM
Barbara V said... Beautiful, gorgeous blouse, nice fit! I too bought this pattern years ago and haven't sewn it yet. Maybe now. I love your version! 6/10/09 8:09 PM
graustark said... You are right the details really make this shirt. I love the pale green too ... way too pretty for "just" a muslin, so I'm glad it worked out! 6/10/09 10:25 PM
craftygamma said... Wow, that is very nice & really unique! I started a little girl's dress that has a tucked bodice and it does not come out right after doing the tucks. I cannot even figure out why, so it sits in a drawer for someday. My only granddaughter has grown too big for it now, but I still would like to figure out what went wrong some day. 6/11/09 7:45 AM

Michele Lommasson said... A beautiful pattern and a very well made garment. Very flattering (nice also to see how flattering it looks on a normal sized, non-emaciated individual).
I do like the vintage thread you used. What was it?
I agree with clin, it's too bad it's out of print. That doesn't mean we can't find it though!
Thanks for an inspiring review. 6/11/09 1:00 PM
