| Riesie | 6/15/09 | So glad to see a review of this pattern as I have it in my stash and have been dithering over it. I made her 5300 pattern and was very happy with it, so I had high hopes for this. Glad to know it works out so beautifully (and that is exactly the word for that fabric - beautiful). Thanks for all the info. |

| Patti B | 6/15/09 | Very pretty blouse, Mary Beth. I still shy away from blouses; perhaps I'll give this one a try. Very helpful review. |

| FreyaStark | 6/15/09 | A smart and pretty blouse. I love the fabric, too. Thanks for the useful review. I've got plans for this pattern myself. |

| Debbie Cook | 6/15/09 | Thanks MB for the details on this pattern. I have a love/hate with this pattern line (love some, not so much love for others) and am glad to know this one was a winner for you. It's already in my stash so I think its place in line just moved up.

| clin | 6/15/09 | Great looking blouse and thanks for such a thorough review - I love good blouse patterns but the drawing on this pattern envelope (as on most Connie's pattens) did nothing for me - will buy now thanks to your info. |

| Sew4Fun | 6/15/09 | Pretty blouse! I hadn't noticed this pattern before. |

| chacha45 | 6/15/09 | I would never have dreamed of doing that button placement! Is it noticeable in real life? The pattern of the fabric obscures it in the photo. |

| MaryBeth | 6/15/09 | Yeah, chacha45, I tried so hard to get these photos to "work". You can see them better for some reason over on the blog, http://www.thesewingdivas.wordpress.com.
The button spacings do work quite well in person, I don't notice the difference at all. Amazing! |

| Sew4Fun | 6/15/09 | Oops sorry, double post. I hit that pesky refresh button when I shouldn't have. |

| rhgadavis | 6/16/09 | Thanks so much for the review; I enjoyed reading about it first at SewingDivas. I have this pattern, too, so now I am much encouraged to go ahead and make it. I have several of her patterns and haven't made any yet--why the weird illustrations, I wonder? |

| EleanorSews | 6/16/09 | What a lovely blouse!!! Thanks so much for your review. Like others, I have looked at this pattern more than once but was not sold by the illustration. Your blouse plus review have me wondering when the next Butterick sales are.... |

| KathySews | 6/16/09 | Wonderful top and review. I wish Connie Crawford would get better representation of her patterns on the cover. I also like 5300 and might try this. |

| chacha45 | 6/17/09 | Thanks for adding the button photo, MaryBeth. That is just fascinating. There is some kind of optical illusion going on there because when something is out of symmetry it really bothers me and this doesn't! |

| penelopekc | 9/11/09 | Terrific review! I have the Reader's Digest Sewing guide, so with it and your extensive guidance, I should be good to go! Thanks for taking the time to help out others sew-ers. |

| OhioMary | 10/1/09 | Thanks for reinforcing my thoughts on where the missing "large circle" should be. This is my first use of C.C. patterns and I'm making 1x with no alterations to see how her pattern compares with my body (cheap material). I attended a seminar she gave to ASG in Ft.Wayne - enjoyed her greatly! |
