Very pretty top, great tip on the petersham.

I love your outfit. What a great idea to use the petersham at the neckline and armholes! Your top looks better then RTW!

Great tip about the Petersham. I don't like facings either for thesame reason! I'll have to check it out next year when I sew some sleeveless tops for summer.

Great little top and the petersham is a great idea.
7/28/06 11:12 AM
The top matches the capris nicely--love the fabric and your Petersham treatment on the neck and arms, very classy!

Lovely top and very helpful review.
7/28/06 12:12 PM
I agree on all the above - I don't like facings either. Great tip and your top is really cute! I have this pattern too, but haven't made it yet. Good motivation here.

Thank you so much for sharing the details on your finishing technique, it does look very professional, but doable. Great review!

Thanks for the step by steps on petersham facings. The top looks lovely and goes so well with the capris. Enjoy your picnic!

Your top is beautiful! Thank you for the petersham facing tutorial--I'm eager to try it. Your neckline and armholes look absolutely perfect!

Would it be possible to make this pattern fully lined? If you did that, would you leave a side-seam open to turn?

Great summer outfit! Love the petersham idea. Thanks for sharing it.
7/28/06 6:14 PM
Really cute, Becky. I like it. The neckline does lay down nicely.
7/28/06 6:38 PM
You look lovely and COOL:-) Great tip on the petersham -- maybe put it in "tips".
7/28/06 7:36 PM
beautiful top, Becky...great job.

Sewfrequent -- This top could be fully lined. I'd recommend looking at Connie Long's book, "Easy Guide to Sewing Linings" to see how one would approach lining this top. I think it would be easy. To everyone -- Thank you for your kind words about my top!

Excellent review!! Your top looks beautiful. Your use of the Petersham to finish the neckline & armholes is very innovative & I want to try it.

Your top is beautiful! I don't like facings either and the petersham is a lovely finish.

Pretty top. I like your tip about the Petersham.
7/29/06 6:05 AM
Lovely top. Great idea about Petersham, your directions for applying were very helpful.
7/29/06 7:35 AM
Thanks for the tip on using the petersham, I have never seen this before and just purchased this pattern. Also, thanks for the photos on how to apply and the finished edge. That does look better than facings.

That neckline does sit beautifully. I want mine to do that, and will try your technique. It is a funny thing about petersham - my mother and grandmother used to use it on waistbands as a standard, and then it fell out of favour when interfacings improved so much. I would have thought it was a bit stiff for armholes - does it chafe at all? Probably the petersham of today is a whole new deal as well. Thanks for the very useful review.

Lahn, The Petersham is 100% Rayon and is very soft. I was worried about irritation around the armholes too, but there hasn't been any. -- Becky

Nice top. I was working w/ this pattern last summer also, but didn't get it right yet. You did.
1/25/07 10:50 AM
Your analysis has headed me in the direction of Petersham and adjusted fit. Thanks!
7/18/07 1:04 PM
Just looking for reviews on patterns I have for summer tops. Glad I came across this one - your top looks really nice and I'm going to be buying the 3/8 Petersham to try out your technique.

Lovely fabric, great-looking top! Thank you so much for the tip on replacing the facings with petersham. I have this and now that the weather is getting hotter will try to make it using your tip.

It looks lovely! I think I need a ham now.

Wish I had done this on my tank - Silhouette Pattern #500. Used bias tape instead, I'll have to order some 3/8 inch petersham tape. Thanks for the very indepth review. Beautiful top, BTW!
