PittyPat said... Oh.... love the fabric. You did a great job on combining the two patterns into a nice fitting top. Love the adaptation of the back - and changing the yoke fabric to the other side to make it look like a design feature. 4/27/11 12:24 PM

Renren said... Wow, love that fabric and glad you stepped out of your usual boundaries on this "ugly" (not!) fabric. Great thing using front/back of this unique fabric. and thanks for all the 80%/85%/90% talk with the bands/bindings. I must keep things like that in mind, she says, rubbing her hands together and heading back to the Fabric Torture Chamber. Great review, as usual! 4/27/11 2:06 PM
Sigrid. said... You made good use of this "ugly" fabric, what a pretty top. The idea of the seam in the back and using both sides of the fabric is very clever! 4/27/11 2:42 PM
Clareew said... Wow Margaret, that was quick. I still have family around so haven't sewn since Brussels. I did say that the fabric was only 'ugly' in that it wasn't for me. You have made a fantastic garment - well done. Clare 4/27/11 2:59 PM

Patti B said... What a helpful review of your interesting knit top. Great job of morphing and I think it looks great on you. It's good to step outside our comfort zones. 4/27/11 4:08 PM
treefrog said... Excellent review! I love what you have done in morphing the patterns and using both sides of the fabric. Your top looks great! 4/27/11 5:57 PM
loti said... Fabulous t-shirt, and hard to believe that you received it in an ugly fabric swap, you've really done wonders with it. 4/27/11 8:23 PM

Margaret said... Thanks, everyone! Clare, I agree the fabric is certainly not ugly! It wasn't something I would've thought to pick out for myself either, but it's definitely grown on me. Thanks for bringing it to the fabric swap! 4/28/11 5:53 AM
