EleanorSews said... Carolyn, that makes such lovely top! Beautiful fabric. Too strange that I picked up this pattern last night thinking that I might use the short cap type sleeves and no collar for an easy top. I guess this pattern just calls out for an unlisted view. Thanks for your review. 6/14/11 9:22 PM

drsue said... Really nice! I'm amazed that you were able to make such a great top, with the design elements well placed ,with such a small amount of fabric. 6/14/11 9:35 PM

Rustybobn said... So glad to see you posting reviews again. I always admire the things you make, and this is no exception! Well done. 6/15/11 9:39 AM
CarolynGM said... Thanks everyone for your remarks. The fabric is truly sensational so it took a simple style to really showcase it. I always try to pick up at least one Bill Blass remnant each time I visit Promenade Fine Fabrics. 6/15/11 11:00 AM

Barbara V said... "Sewing Rampage" sounds good! I hope to embark on one soon as well! Your top with alterations, beautiful fabric with stylish tucks turned out wonderfully! 6/16/11 12:06 PM
gotpeace91 said... This is so nice! I can see myself making a bunch of these great tops! Looks pretty and easy to make. I would like to know how to use bias tape to face armhole edges and necklines...would love a link to a tutorial! 7/7/11 10:09 PM
