Renren said... Good idea for lowering the horizontal seam in front--many have mentioned it sits too high. I like the borrowed cowl treatment, too. Pam is something else with all those cool ideas for handling cowls. Glad to see you put one of her excellent tutorials to good use. 11/22/11 11:17 PM
SewWil said... What a pretty top! Thanks for the detailed review. Your changes paid off because it looks wonderful on you. Looks to me like it is a VERY wearable muslin. 11/22/11 11:24 PM
Aixoise said... I think you nailed it. Looking forward to seeing future versions. I thought that was Pam's cowl treatment. Genius! 11/22/11 11:46 PM
c.k. paz said... Your finished top looks great; very flattering fit. I've been looking for a top with a cowl neckline and, thanks to your review, I'll keep this one in mind. 11/23/11 2:20 AM

Margaret said... Great top! Very nice changes... the front seam looks like it worked well and so did the extra detail on the cowl. Have fun with the next version(s)! 11/23/11 8:06 AM

ArtAttack said... This is adorable on you and what a perfect color for your complexion. I really like the tab on the cowl for something different. Very cute! 11/23/11 9:37 AM
marthamyers said... Wow, Mary. So gorgeous on you! I've been wanting to try Pam's technique too. It is the perfect touch on this pattern. OK, I have to go buy this pattern now! 11/23/11 10:04 AM

Sharonspils said... Great tunic, love the colour, and how clever to work out where that horizontal seam should be. The knot is very clever. 11/24/11 1:22 AM
