sewtime said... Wow!!! Your blouse turned out pretty!! And you stuck to it, and finished it! You should be very proud of yourself!! 10/8/09 3:57 PM
Samina said... Thanks for the review! I have this pattern and your experience will come in handy. I'm sure the shirt looks great on you. Regarding the clapper/ham issue, they're two different things. A clapper is a wooden thing you use to beat the garment edges into a crisp edge. You don't have to purchase a clapper -- a 2x4 lying around the house woud work just as well. 10/8/09 4:29 PM
Miss Fairchild said... Thanks for the 2x4 tip, Samina. The directions did call for a clapper, and I thought it was silly; why would I want to beat a seam that sat down anyway? 10/8/09 4:47 PM

Mufffet said... Thanks for a very good review. I had a hard time with my Betzina books myself, although I sure like her! I have seen a couple of her videos though and they seem very good. I am not good on directions of this sort anyway, so would have made the collar my own way. Your blouse is very pretty, and the fabric is really beautiful. 10/8/09 8:21 PM

fryman said... your review brings to mind that there were many assumptions in the directions. We all know that's a mistake, but SB did it anyway.However, your blouse surfaced as a winner and I hope you enjoy wearing it. Lovely! 10/10/09 11:04 AM

Miss Fairchild said... Blue lamb, you can PM me if you have problems, and I suppose you're having the same ones as I did. My pattern was a little more, as. I bought it from a private party and the pattern is autographed. 9/25/10 7:58 AM
