Larkin said... What a nice looking top! I appreciate the comments about lengthening and the armhole warning - I'd share both of your concerns. Thanks! 4/5/07 10:54 AM

HatBuddy said... Help! What did you buy and use for the sleeve bias tape interfacing. The only 1 5/8 inch bias tape I found has no stretch or give to it so it doesnt stretch any to fit the curves of the armhole. It also wont lie flat. The fabric I used is 100% cotton even though a firmer stiffer thicker fabric was called for in the pattern I wanted a very thin light summer weight for the muggy hot sticky summer days. But the thin fabric shouldnt make that much difference on getting the bias tape to lie flat after sewn to the armhole. 3/10/09 1:22 PM
