Vintage Joan said... Very, very nice. :) Thanks for the reminder about Christine Jonson patterns. She definitely has some nice things. 1/14/09 7:15 PM
AnneMarie60 said... I also love the coverstitch detail. Great hint about the steam-a-seam to hold the hem in place. Beautiful top in a rich color. 1/14/09 7:17 PM
Gelbean said... Beautiful top! I love the lines and the coverstitch details and it is perfect in red! 1/14/09 7:18 PM
shesflipped said... What a beautiful top! The coverstitching is fantastic looking, and the color is so fresh and vibrant. I love Jalie #2682~so your reference to this being similar has sold me. I'm ordering it now! 1/14/09 7:48 PM

rebija said... Very informative review. Thank you for the extra detail and links. I'm almost tempted to try knits again (smile). Beautiful, beautiful garment! 1/14/09 8:11 PM
Barbara3 said... Nancy, I agree with all of the wonderful compliments on your top - It really is a keeper! Those muslins certainly paid off in a beautifully constructed and fitting top. I also appreciate the information you provided on how this pattern compares to the Jalie 2682 V-neck, and on how you approached fitting and construction. Love the addition of coverstitching! 1/14/09 8:13 PM

fiddlestick chic said... Thanks for the good review ~ I will be purchasing this pattern now.
I think the princess look opens up the versatility of this pattern allowing it to be worn with a dressy pair of slacks or skirt rather than casually as I think the Jalie V neck does .
Don't get me wrong I LOVE Jalie patterns but some of the CJ patterns offer me more dress clothing which is what I happen to need at the moment.
Just got back into sewing after taking a 10 yr break and this is the reason why.
Dont want to spend tons of money on dresses ! ( we have lots of weddings to go to and I dont want to spend a fortune on my clothing!)
I very much appreciate all your reviews and LOVE this top that you made! 4/6/09 8:30 AM
