JeanK said... Kudos to you for working thru your frustrations to finish this top! I think it looks like a perfect top for cycling - very stylish. Jalie is a different kettle of fish from Kwik-Sew (which I love), but once you've sewn a couple of their patterns, you'll love them, too. Sewing is a life-long learning experience. I've sewn for 40 years and still get very excited when I work with patterns that are unfamiliar to me. 7/25/08 1:16 PM
