 2 members like this. Date: 1/8/13 2:16 PM When I posted this top I'd sewn, I had a few people ask about the fabric and where they could get some. It was EOS and was sold out quickly, but I just spotted some at Marcy Tilton
I LOVE my top in this fabric, it washes beautifully, wears like iron, and OMG is it ever SOFT to the hand!  ------ I heart Panzy, Pfaff Creative Performance, the sewing machine love of my life!

But that top is darling. Is it another incarnation of your favorite Vogue?

Date: 1/9/13 9:11 AM I love this -- but just added some fabric to my stash and I can't (sadly) justify any more right now.

Date: 1/9/13 10:14 AM I love it, and had thought of getting some ... but --
Would this make a good unlined summer dress, or is it too lightweight or sheer?
When I saw this on Marcy's site, I wasn't sure whether the striped effect ran crosswise or lengthwise. From your top it looks like lengthwise (with the stretch running across the stripes, not with them). ------ marjoriekh |

Date: 1/9/13 12:15 PM It runs lengthwise (vertical stripes) and it isn't sheer, so I think it would make a nice summer dress, especially a t-shirt style. ------ I heart Panzy, Pfaff Creative Performance, the sewing machine love of my life!
