Oh Ann, it looks fantastic!! Thanks for your helpful hints- especially about making the petite version. Are you planning to send a photo of it into Threads?

Just love those simple (but effective) tops!

Thank you so much for the warning! I suspected that would be the case.

Well, I just have to try this. Sometimes just a little something over the shoulders . . . .

Very cute!

Very very cute. Just the thing to throw over little warm weather dresses...thanks for a helpful review.

Good observations Ann...I was wondering myself about the dimensions and scale as shown in the illustrations...they did seem a bit off. I'm glad you clarified this!

Aren't these great! I just made 3 of them, and you're absolutely right abt the dimensions. I did batwing and cut down the second two. I did 2 in slinky and 1 in stretch lace. They're perfect for air conditioning and I'm seeing them in fall fashions, too!

How lovely! I'm impressed that you made it up so quickly.

Ann, that is so cute. These are so fun to make!

Yours looks great! I just made one about 5 minutes before I read your review and I wish I read it first. I am small and mine in the back landed right above my hips too. The picture is very miss leading.

Thanks for the review. I was going to make one this evening!

I love this! Is this the most recent Threads? I'll have to pick it up.

The Threads photo model has her edges rolled somewhat--I'll bet that accounts for why hers doesn't look as big. And maybe she's 6 feet tall! Anyway, I've done the batwing style, and it's much better for me, with my shortwaisted frame. I think you could easily combine the "body opening" curve of the Batwing with the "sleeve" of the Dancer's sweater, and get a slightly more body-hugging garment. I've seen a whole bunch of these in the big dept. store catalogues--priced from $30 to more than $100. Well worth it to sew one!

Thanks for the headsup on the fabric amount for us petites. One size fits all is normally way to big for me.

Very helpful! I'm also petite and appreciate your tips!

I'm so glad that ponchos are over. Now I feel less guilty about not getting around to making one, and I LOVE shrugs!

I second your impression of this pattern. I also found there was too much fabric down the back. Even so, the shrug looks vaguely elegant and it sure was EASY!
