Jayme said... Very nice tee's!!! I have really taken to rebuilding t-shirts as well. My daughters are continually bringing me "rebuilds"! You should send your pictures to Kwik Sew - they have such great patterns, but I feel their drawings never do their patterns justice! 10/2/06 1:59 PM
sewbehind said... Beautiful T-shirt, elegant to boot! This is now on my must do list.
10/2/06 2:50 PM
Princess Jenny said... Wow! They are all beautiful.
I see why this pattern is one of your favorites. You picked such lovely materials each time, too :) 10/2/06 3:31 PM
jnamcd said... They look great! You always have the coolest fabrics! 10/2/06 3:54 PM
carolynw said... They all look so nice - isn't it nice to have Tees that really fit!! 10/2/06 4:03 PM
Erica B. said... Cute top! 10/2/06 4:26 PM
Lori V said... Those are so very pretty, great job. 10/2/06 4:31 PM
Mrs.Moos said... Karen--I am assuming you did the scoop neck view? I "made over" a T-shirt using this pattern but had to use the high neck due to the screenprinting placement. I like the look of the scoop neck SO much better though. Your shirts are great and great choices on the fabric. I must try this pattern on something other that a T-shirt makeover! 10/2/06 6:22 PM
Ronda Rae said... I love your tees! I wish I could make some of these. I don't have a serger (yet) and can't seem to do it right on the regular SM. Your material choices are great, too! 10/2/06 7:27 PM
Sew4Fun said... Great tees! I love your fabric choices too. I can see why this pattern is a favourite. 10/2/06 8:18 PM
CarolynGM said... My goodness, your are a very prolific producer of t-shirts! The neckline is gorgeous, and they all look very professional. Is this a fairly close-fitting tee, or is there some ease? 10/2/06 8:20 PM
ryan's mom said... Great tee, great fit! 10/3/06 7:06 AM
AnneM said... Great T, and a great pattern for fun fabrics. I need to get myself a TNT t-shirt pattern. 10/3/06 7:37 AM
mClones said... Love them all. Great fabric choices. 10/3/06 8:09 AM
Karen6790 said... Ronda, I do these on the regular machine - haven't accumulated a serger yet either. I do them on a small zigzag or straight stitch, depending on the amount of stretch in the fabric.
Irina, I've made it into a fairly close-fitting tee, but you can definitely add some ease. It's a very cooperative pattern. 10/3/06 9:21 AM
Harriet Rogers said... Love all of your versions. I also have a favorite KS pattern: No 3161. I've used EOS fabric for the short sleeved and long sleeved versions, each made at least twice. It's great when one finds a pattern that just WORKS, isn't it? Thanks for sharing. 10/3/06 12:30 PM
OP Gal said... Very nice T's. I especially love the fabric in the one you reviewed. 10/3/06 7:33 PM
Trudy J said... I love the old t-shirt suggestion! 1/2/08 1:56 PM
Karen8320 said... Karen, this is stunning fabric!!! Absolutely gorgeous! I'm sure you'll look a knockout wearing this top. Everything about it looks great. 3/17/08 11:44 PM
Dale C said... That's neat how you placed the dark line under the bust. It makes it look like there's an empire seam there... and it "lifts" the bust. That fabric is great. 3/18/08 0:31 AM
Lori V said... Another winner and I like the fabric placement. 3/18/08 7:12 AM
Sew4Fun said... I like your latest tee. Thanks for reminding me about this pattern. 3/18/08 6:31 PM
Deepika said... Thanks for drawing my attention to this t-shirt pattern. Who doesnt need a basic tee in their wardrobe. Your t-shirts are lovely. 3/18/08 6:38 PM
HeyJane said... This one and another vogue pattern are my 2 favorites that I make all the time, so I love to see everyone else's variations. I love your 3/4 sleeve - very pretty !! 3/18/08 7:34 PM
MelissaB in WA said... All your tops (past and present) are lovely! I have this pattern and really need to try it. 3/18/08 9:49 PM
lilyofthevalley said... All your t's are fabulous and fit you beautifully, but I can't take my eyes off this beauty you've reviewed today! Wow, it's a killer; the fabric is nothing short of perfect for your small shape. Absolutlely lovely, Lily 3/19/08 11:27 AM

Mahogany Stylist said... Two more great looking tops. Can you believe I don't have this pattern? It is definitely a winner. 1/14/09 6:59 PM
Cerisa said... This has to be one of the greatest patterns for a beginner - Ive made a few myself and I'm pleased with the results. Karen, I'm impressed that you recut t-shirts to give them new life and I like your choice of fabrics. 1/14/09 7:01 PM

Ody said... Wow! girl, you are doing the stashers up proud! This (and all the others) are fantastic and you have a great eye for picking the perfect fabric to make these tops stand out. 1/14/09 11:41 PM
FreyaStark said... A very smart and distinctive garment. Well done! 1/15/09 4:16 AM
mssewcrazy said... Wow to all your shirts. I saw this pattern in the best patterns list and bought it a while back as I figured as well loved as it is I better put it into my collection. You have definitely put it high on my to do list. 1/15/09 2:09 PM
Karendee said... Such a nice looking top, and I like all your other Ts made from this pattern. 1/15/09 5:13 PM

oceandaughter said... I love all your photos...I am hoping to make over some t-shirts also. Seems like a good way to get unusual fabrics plus the fit and style I want. 11/7/09 11:21 AM
