Mary, thank you for your detailed comments about the fit. The shirt in the picture looks great on you. With the wrap shirt you tried, if you lengthened it would you have liked it? These look great on the envelope picture but the last time I tried to make one (different pattern) I confess I couldn't get it tied to look good and not gape open--also it had a long belt like tie and a short one, and I couldn't for the life of me figure out how really it was supposed to go.

Cute shirt, but the real kicker was the sewing machine photo, I scanned all the pics, and just thought you must have been proud of your machine until I made the picture bigger and saw the "addition". I would have screamed and broken an ankle trying to run away!

I'm going to have to try this one, it's very flattering on you. I love the picture of the little "friend" on your machine!

Great job on the shirt; it looks very nice. I have to agree, I loved the gecko (?) on the sewing machine.

Lee Ann, the wrap shirt has long ties of equal length. Mine gapped in the front neckline, so I sewed a snap there, but it pulled and made the snap look obvious. As far as the length goes, it is designed to sit right at your natural waist, which is pretty high. I have tummy rolls, so I don't know how I could lengthen it and still be able to tie it. I think a mock wrap might be the way to go instead if you have some tummy fluff. KS 3111 looks like a good candidate - almost identical to this pattern. I would love to see it made up. Thinking of trying this one next. LOL -- my new sewing room mascot. Man, he scared me to death peeking over the top of my machine.

That picture of the lizard is so funny! The shirt looks great!
