Sigrid. said... Very original and very like the garment you try to copy. Good work. 7/19/07 6:18 AM
Karla Kizer said... I've used S&S patterns over the years, but only in the past few years have I acquired some of the older ones. I've got a pretty good collection now and they're great as a basis for updating to current styles. Yours is a great example of how it's done. Thank you for the inspiration. 7/19/07 6:20 AM
moss said... cool, I am working on the Hotpatterns version of this right now ("No Sweat Easy Sew" something something) and I was wanting to do a little lining too. Your jacket is fabulous. :) 7/19/07 12:08 PM
cindy-lou said... The retail price on that TT version of this is just about crazy... $248? On a light note, you just saved yourself $238 dollars! The things you can buy now... :)
Seriously, I love love this jacket. I hope I can try it this fall. 7/23/07 8:41 AM
JuliaS said... I love love LOVE this little dress you did! And I too have been really intimidated by shirring with elastic thread in the bobbin, but I think you have just convinced me to try it. 7/24/07 10:06 AM
OP Gal said... The shirring on your dress is too cute! You've inspired me to try elastic bobbin thread. The shrub is adorable, too. 7/24/07 12:18 PM
Laurie Lou said... Ah ha, Very clever indead and great results, I love it. Something else I was timid to try and now I won't be. Thanks. 7/24/07 1:46 PM
lisaquilts said... Excellent work! Thanks for the detailed review! Wow, shirring is great--what a transformation...I'll have to conquer my fear of it! 7/26/07 10:38 AM
Levone said... Love all of these! Thanks, especially for the tank version as you've given me some ideas on how to change up my HP tube cami. Great review! 7/26/07 11:23 AM
VtMartha said... You are so clever! I am just finishing up the HP version of your cami - not at all age appropriate for me but fun to wear. My compulsive side wants the ribbon not to twist as it goes through the casing. 7/26/07 11:52 AM
MissCelie said... The photo is hillarious. You'll have to prove that this smocking is as easy as you claim. 7/26/07 12:23 PM
EveS said... OMG, my first thought when I saw your pic was, "Does she REALIZE she looks like Jan, Marsha, and Cindy???" Well done!!! Anyway, I LOVE all 3 versions, esp that little jacket! As always, great review...who needs Harry Potter when we've got you? ;) 7/26/07 5:21 PM
nicegirl said... Hee EveS, that's funny. Yes, the Brady-ness was intentional. Don't even talk to me about Harry Potter--I think the mailroom stole my copy because it was allegedly delivered to work Monday morning and I don't have it yet. I am admitting defeat and buying it (again!!) tomorrow to read over the weekend. 7/26/07 5:45 PM
Mahogany Stylist said... Love, love all three variations. 7/26/07 10:58 PM
AnneM said... Fantastic. Great job using that S&S pattern to make some very current garments. All 3 are great. Love, love, love the shirring. I'm definitely going to have to copy that idea. 8/2/07 8:22 AM
Marji said... You've gotten great mileage from that pattern. This, to me, is what one Pattern multi-looks is all about. Nicely Done! 8/2/07 9:56 AM
