I don't like facings on knits either, good job with your changes 3/8/11 8:33 AM

I don't know why Simplicity, McCall's, et al, allow so much ease in children's wear, or why they would suggest buttons for a knit top, but you overcame the problems nicely. 3/8/11 12:35 PM
gooner said... Thank you, ladies! Moushka, the pattern is apparently for either, and the model picture shows a knit on the upper portion and a printed contrast woven on the lower part, so perhaps that's part of it. For a $.99 pattern, I guess I'm happy to have the basic pieces and make my adjustments from there :) 3/12/11 11:24 AM
