Ronda Rae said... Nice! I have a very similar fabric that's been cut and sew a bit, but got intimidated with the neck and put it aside. You've inspired me to take it out and try to tackle my fears of knits! 8/5/06 6:29 AM
Lori V said... Gorgeous top. You have sewn some great looking knit tops lately. 8/5/06 7:48 AM
Deepika said... Karen, I love your top. Is mesh not sheer? On your dressform it doesnt seesm that way. Did you line it? 8/5/06 8:36 AM
Linda F said... Beautiful top and great job. 8/5/06 9:08 AM
Debbie Cook said... I really like the semi-raglan sleeve shaping on this top. You say it's not your best sewing, but I can't tell that from here. It looks great to me! I have this same print in buttermilk but blue/green tones. It is a cool fabric, isn't it? 8/5/06 9:18 AM
MarilynB said... Oh la la! C'est bon! I agree with your raising the front neckline, it's just more comfortable when you don't have to worry about exposing yourself. 8/5/06 9:36 AM
Stacy Sews said... Great job on this top! I love the print with this (EOS buttermilks helped me get over my knit fears). 8/5/06 9:54 AM
j222b said... Very nice. Can you tell me what type of dressform you have there, the cost and anything else you might want to divulge. It looks very nice, too. 8/5/06 10:11 AM
carolynw said... Looks really nice - thanks for the review and tip on raising fron neckline. Very timely as I have this pattern and it's soon to go on the cutting table with a knit - also from EOS. Doesn't she have the loveliest?? 8/5/06 10:43 AM
carolynw said... Karen - like j22b any info re the dress form would be much appreciated 8/5/06 10:44 AM
Sew4Fun said... Pretty top. I had my eye on this fabric too. 8/5/06 7:59 PM
Karen6790 said... I got the dress form recently on ebay because the Singer one I'd purchased before that was a piece of junk that fell over every time I tried to pull a top over its head. The seller on this is PGMPro and they have two kinds - this one, which is the lower priced one at $149, and a much higher one that looks like the ones they use on Project Runway. It's very sturdy and pinnable, and I really like it. 8/7/06 9:39 AM
