Em's Summer said... Yours turned out nicely. I wrote one of the other reviews of this and I'm amazed that you followed the instructions and didn't get a shelf neckband like I got when I followed the instructions and tried to sew this with gathers. The fabric I used was just as stretchy, and recovers just as well as two way knits, but I ended up with a shelf when I tried to make it with the gathers. I had to improvise to get a wearable top from this pattern so I'm truly amazed that you didn't run into the neckband problems that some of us ran into. You did a good job! 7/2/06 9:32 PM
ReneeSews said... Em's Summer - The only thing I can think of is the fabric used? The fabric I used is a alternating ribbed and lacey, medium weight with no vertical stretch, only stretches horizontially. 7/2/06 9:51 PM
CatherineN said... Your fabric is very pretty. Please be sure to review the pants when you make them. 7/2/06 10:01 PM

Elemenopeo said... You did have excellent results on this top! 7/2/06 11:04 PM
fuzzygalore said... You're getting the fit -perfect-! And you rather look like me, so I'd say yes you do have narrow shoulders :-). You've thrown me into philosophical musings of how many women with big busts have narrow shoulders - maybe it's from shoulder tightness due to weight carrying from years of inadequate bras, or teenage slumping to camouflage :-)?? Whatever the reason, the shoulders are perfect here, so keep doing what you're doing, in Big4 patterns at least. 7/3/06 3:51 AM

PKPudlin said... Nice job, Renee. Very cute top and helpful review. Thanks! 7/3/06 8:49 AM
redsquid said... Excellent, you got the pattern to work - I'm thinking now the fabric I used for my top was too firm and just did not have enough stretch (although it had enough according to the "stretch chart") - thanks for the review! 7/3/06 10:35 AM
