marec said... I love your blouse and the minty color is fabulous. Thanks for the info re:fit. I just finished View B, and I too cut a small (through the shoulders), and ended up moving the sleeve another 1 3/4" inward, thus making that part smaller than an extra small. I moved the underbust dart a bit away from center front, and I used a longer neckband but still got gathers. Love the design, and think a medium would work in a woven... 8/4/12 1:48 AM

Nan Kay said... Thank you for reviewing this pattern. I bought it when it first came out, but had lost interest in making it. I like your version, so maybe I will give it a go after all! 8/4/12 9:30 AM
Michele Lommasson said... It does look pretty large on the model. I don't know, but, I think I am up for a loose fitting Tee. Your version certainly looks nice.
I have been finding, lately, that spandex knits break the rules when it comes to neck-bands, etc. Pattern companies seem to make the bands way larger than they should be, I adjust it to my usual, well-working formula, and then add at least 2". That's working for me now.
My binder seems to pull the knit too tightly for anything but an old fashioned ribbing or Tee-shirt knit. So I haven't been using it.
Anyway! You have inspired me. This pattern is back in the line-up. 8/4/12 3:16 PM
