CarrieA said... That is so flattering, and so cute! I'm so happy you showed this to us as I have this pattern but haven't made it yet. Guess what I'll be doing to it! 12/7/06 4:27 PM
frame said... Great job. Very clever alterations. 12/7/06 4:39 PM
Sew4Fun said... Wow fantastic jacket! It would be perfect for mountain biking. I can't tell the difference between your jacket and Shebeest's, although I'm sure yours fits better. :) 12/7/06 5:37 PM
Leslie in Austin said... What a great cycling top! I love how you really feminized it and added the essential back zip pocket. By coincidence, guess what I've been working on this week...yep, a Shebeest knockoff! Hope mine turns out as fantastic as yours did. 12/7/06 5:53 PM

Danvillegirl said... Very nice! 12/8/06 5:24 AM
AnneM said... Instead of spending all that money for the top, now you have a great pattern that you can use for multiple tops. Came out great. 12/8/06 7:25 AM

chrisquilts_2 said... Fantastic! I would love to see you put more info in about how you modified the curved pieces in front. It looks great! 12/8/06 9:50 AM
Mary Stiefer said... Great looking top. 12/8/06 10:49 AM
Leslie Bonner said... Yours looks much nicer than the retail one in every respect. I bet you will get lots of use of out this top and your fellow bikers will want to know where you got it. 12/8/06 2:13 PM
ryan's mom said... That's a great sporty top along with a great review to go with it! 12/8/06 4:27 PM

Jane S said... Great looking jacket and such a helpful review. I enjoy the creative flexibility of Kwik Sew patterns, even if the originals drawings don't always inspire me. Another reason to keep an inspiration file for RTW knock offs. 12/9/06 12:01 PM
SarahSews said... Thanks for the great review on bike wear. Your top is better than the catalog version. I rode bike; so look for inspiration on P.R. for bike clothes. Thanks Michelle...great work! 12/10/06 9:20 AM
Hilary said... That is a beatiful top! My DS is a biker but it rarely gets cold enough here (south TX) for that! You did a beautiful job copying the inspiration top! 12/15/06 10:34 PM
Sue Anfang said... Gorgeous jacket - I'm just pulling out this pattern to make up a fleece for skiing & I love the modifications you made especially along the shoulder line! Thanks, Sue 1/10/07 9:43 PM
