Sherril Miller said... Nice t-shirt. I liked this pattern too and to do a FBA I just cut across the front, spread 1" and then eased it into the sideseams. Marcy Tilton shows this method in her t-shirt book. 5/13/05 9:20 PM

CarolynGM said... Thanks for reviewing this tee -- I just bought this pattern a couple of weeks ago so now I want to try it. That fabric color looks wonderful on you and the whole outfit is just smashing. 5/14/05 5:25 AM
PegL said... Pretty shirt in a great color for you! I don't see an extreme need for a FBA -- it looks very nice as is! 5/14/05 7:38 AM
MaryBeth said... Sherril, thanks for the info. Liane, thanks for the slinky training!! I'll bring the pattern and the rest of the slinky outfits. Couldn't have done it without you! jlg and Irina: you all will look drop dead gorgeous (again! as always!) Everyone: thanks for the nice comments: we've got to try out the skirts for sure. And PegL: you might be right about the FBA. Georgene just emailed me with a suggestion to scoop out the armscye and move shoulder point a tiny bit so it's not so wide. She actually approved the fit (Thanks, Georgene!) 5/14/05 8:47 AM
AnneM said... Very nice top. 5/14/05 9:28 AM
Diane E said... MaryBeth, what a pretty outfit. Your tee is very nice. Beautiful color! You'll find that you'll wear out the pattern tissue on this one, so reinforce it before it's too late ;) 5/14/05 10:28 AM
Karla Kizer said... What a gorgeous color! Your tee has inspired me to get out that pattern and see if it works as well for me. I need a project with quick returns, after getting bogged down with a couple of semi-wadders. 5/14/05 11:00 AM
