Leslie in Austin said... Deepika, that tee *rocks*! Great print (in C/R/L no less--yum), the color is dynamite on you, and the fit looks pretty perfect. Love everything about it. 30 looks good on you, girl. 2/11/05 10:11 PM
dvazz said... Happy 30th, Deepika! That shirt is amazing on you. Wear it to go out on your birthday and you'll get carded. :) 2/11/05 10:33 PM
KarenP said... I LOVE it! Perfect placement of the print. I've been meaning to give this pattern a try (it's already in my stash) and your review has convinced me to move it up in my "to-do" list. 2/11/05 11:29 PM
Jennifer shaw said... Happy B-day! What an excellent way to celebrate, in your gorgeous and glorious new top. 2/12/05 0:51 AM
Georgene said... Hey, I remember that print! Great job with the placement. The big 3-0 on the front is so funny. Time to get Jalie to sell patterns on PR...44 reviews!! 2/12/05 1:05 AM
Jodi B. said... Deepika, this is just too uncanny! I'm wearing mine right now. And I used the same pattern so mine looks almost identical to yours! I know, I haven't done a review yet. Maybe I'll post mine right with yours. :) It looks fabulous. I hope you have a great birthday. I wore mine for my birthday and had such fun with it. 2/12/05 1:05 AM
KathleenS said... Great print placement, particularly the sleeves! 2/12/05 1:08 AM
tigger said... Love the t-shirt - and the placement of the fabric pattern is amazing! Very nice - I've thought about trying some Jalie patterns and now I may have to make this my first!
Happy Birthday as well Deepika! 2/12/05 2:07 AM
ChrisK said... Your tee shirt looks great. I love the colour on you. I've been wondering if I should get this pattern. So... you think I should give this a try???? Your review is convincing enough. I'm going to get it! ;-) Have a happy birthday 2/12/05 2:20 AM
Amelie said... I love everything about this t-shirt!!! It looks really great on you. Especially helpful are the tips and encouragement for those of us without sergers. Can you give us any more info on what type of stitch ( small zigzag, stretch etc. ) and what type of needle you used? Thanks! 2/12/05 3:59 AM
Sew it seams said... I love your top Deepika, you look good in 30! What did you think of the arm? Was it tight? I have this pattern but haven't made it up because of the sizing. Some have said that the arm is rather tight so I put it away and forgot about it. Your t-shirt looks like the perfect RTW style, so I'm going to give it a try. Great review. 2/12/05 5:17 AM
Nickle said... Happy Birthday- Love you top and review.Penny 2/12/05 5:56 AM
Asa Hagstrom said... Happy birthday Deepika! I remember this fabric, and I wish I had gotten some too (although I have almost a year left). I agree with Leslie, 30 looks good on you! 2/12/05 6:20 AM
Karla Kizer said... Some of us think you are "admitting" to being 30 - and some of us think you are bragging. Great shirt, great review. Jalie should thank you and 3 dozen other reviewers. 2/12/05 6:30 AM
Gigi Louis said... How adorable! Trust me, this may be the last time you'll want to wear your age. ;-) 2/12/05 7:55 AM
Liana said... Great shirt, great fabric, great pattern, no wonder it looks so good! I like to sew my knits on the regular machine too, for the same reasons. Your neck band looks wonderful. Do try the bateau neck, it's my favorite. Happy Birthday!! 2/12/05 7:59 AM
GorgeousFabrics said... Oh, I love it! Great review. It might actually push me toward trying this pattern out! -Ann 2/12/05 8:13 AM
cindyann said... Happy BD, Deepika. So cute. I am also a big fan of this pattern. Your top turned out very great. I remember it from PR weekend too! You look wonderful. 2/12/05 9:23 AM
Debbie Cook said... What a cool shirt Deepika, and it looks great on you! Happy birthday! Do you think I can find any "42" fabric? LOL! 2/12/05 9:47 AM
PVA said... Wow, what a great shirt! I guess I'll just have to break down & try this pattern -- I live in T-shirts & with that many raves it must be pretty great! Thanks for a great review! 2/12/05 10:05 AM
Maychi said... Happy birthday Deepika! This top looks great on you! 2/12/05 10:07 AM
drsue said... Man-o-man, that is wonderful. I'm so jealous of your fabric. Very Glima. Happy BD: the 30's are great, you'll see. 2/12/05 10:17 AM
sewsue said... You are right about this being the best T shirt pattern for shape and necklines, but I would like to say that different fabrics with different amounts of stretch and recoverability(!) may need a different pattern size or even a different pattern. I discovered this in my quest for the perfect T shirt pattern and have resolved to keep 3 diferent ones depending on the fabric and fit that I want. All my Jalie Tees look great, but sometimes I still use my old KS pattern whcih is a bit looser fit, or a Great Copy one that has a variety of different necklines and is also a looser fit. 2/12/05 4:25 PM
Rennie Ashby said... Love your top! Happy Birthday D. 2/12/05 4:39 PM
Runrover said... Deepika - the t-shirt and fabric really rocks; 30 never looked so good. The top looks great on you; I especially like the neckband treatment. 2/12/05 5:40 PM
Danvillegirl said... Lovely top. Oh to be just turning 30 again. Happy Birthday in advance. 2/12/05 7:16 PM
Deepika said... Wow! thanks you guys... Thanks so much for such lovely comments. Did I say recently that I love you all :) Amelie, I will edit my review to include more details about the stitch settings on the sewing machine. Debe I've made this pattern in a different knit before and I felt that it cut off circulation in my arms... way too tight but for this knit it was totally fine. My knit is super stretchy though so thats the reason. 2/12/05 10:24 PM
SewVeryTall said... Very cool fabric...very cool top...the way you've used them together is fabulous. Happy 30th Birthday, Deepika! 2/13/05 4:19 AM

Eme said... This seriously looks like a top that Anthropolgie would sell for about $98 - no joke! This pattern has been collecting dust in my stash for almost a year now...I just might have to dig it out -- yours looks so amazing! (this review cycled through on the side of the PR boards page, and I couldn't let it go without saying how fabulous your shirt looks!) 9/17/05 5:59 PM
knitknitknit said... Ooooh, Deepika, I got on here last night specifically to find a tee-shirt pattern that would look just like my two Glima tops that I love so much, and your review led me straight to this pattern! I can't wait for it to come! Yesterday I had visited my local fabric store and there were all these crazy knit prints and I was thinking, "Cool, but what would I ever DO with them?" Now I know!! I can't wait for this pattern to get here! Thanks!
