I made the top and skirt - next time I will place the seam binding just a wee bit lower. I also had to take in the back seam - first time ever for me as well. The ensemble looks beautiful. 10/19/05 6:12 PM
Judy Williment said... Oooh - I love your version! When I made the long sleeved top I sewed the gussets in sections - just the inset corner bits on their own, then the whole seam. It was easier than trying to do the whole seam in one hit, and it never hurts to have a bit of extra reinforcing stitching at an inset! 10/19/05 7:20 PM

gotasew said... Thankyou for your review. I love this pattern but it has alluded me. I just could not get the twist right on the skirt. I tried and tried and it just didn't work. I am glad you had more sucess than me. I found the whole thing very confusing. I usually dont really read the instructions just follow the pictures and I am an experienced sewer. But this one boy it was a doozy 1/29/09 11:00 PM
