sewgranny said... Your blouse is great, especially for a new sewer! What I really like is that you adapted when you couldn't get their instructions to work and struck out on your own. It took me years to do that. Congratulations. 7/19/07 8:57 PM
Tall Mary said... I finished teaching a Beginning Sewing course and the students made pajama bottoms as their first garments. Congratulations on doing both. The top is very cute on you. 7/19/07 9:41 PM
EastwoodFan said... Congratulations! Your top is cute. I made a pattern similar to this. I did the drawstring the way you did your's. My Mom suggested that way of doing it years ago. It's so much easier than fighting with the whole turning process. 7/19/07 10:42 PM

Leslie in Austin said... Very cute--great first project! Turning tiny tubes like your drawstring can be a pain. I often do very narrow or those of heavyweight fabric topstitched just like you describe. When you're ready to start accumulating notions, get your mitts on a FastTurn. Welcome to PR--nice to see you as member of the day, too! 7/24/07 1:36 PM
Sherril Miller said... Great beginner project. It looks RTW to me. You'll learn so much here on PR. I know I did. 7/24/07 1:40 PM

Hilary said... Both tops are adorable on you! I do all my drawstrings that way, too, btw :o) Life's to short to spend time messing with that, LOL. You are doing great, and you are just a beginner?? You will be moving up to intermediate (and beyond!!) in no time! 7/24/07 2:51 PM
gatorgirl4325 said... Yeay for you! Both of your tops are great. The eyelet one is especially summery. 7/24/07 3:03 PM
Skymom said... Both tops are really cute--well done! I always wonder why beginning patterns seem to have those skinny drawstrings. They are such a nuisance to turn, unless you've sewn them in silk charmeuse or something like that. 7/24/07 3:17 PM
Mufffet said... Very nice top - very summery fabric! Good work. I hope you continue to love sewing! 7/24/07 3:50 PM
