sewsue said... Thanks for yet another informative review of a basic but very useful pattern. The Kwiksew Lingerie book is also very useful for patterns and instuctions. 4/5/08 5:09 PM

EveS said... You know, I've been putting off making a slip for FAR too long (and they're practically nonexistent in the stores anymore)...thanks for the reminder! Not one of the most exciting things to make, but certainly one of the most useful. 4/5/08 8:44 PM
lilyofthevalley said... Would feel like a crime, wouldn't it, to pay RTW prices for a slip you can make so nicely, and your slip fits perfectly. Can't argue with that! Do you have a lot of use for slips in FL? Not too hot? But I guess when you need one, you *really* need one. -Lily 4/5/08 9:39 PM
Annette1 said... Very professional results! I particularly like that hem. I'm with you, I hate spending a lot of money on a slip (especially considering how often I wear a dress). :o) Beautful work, as always! 4/6/08 1:46 AM

Debbie Cook said... Lily, Yes, I need to wear a slip in FL ... maybe even moreso because of the bright sun and "shine-thru." I'm old enough :grin: that I just cannot NOT wear a slip when you can see light through the fabric. 4/6/08 10:39 AM
cindyann said... Great review, Debbie. I really love the hem treatment you used on this slip. 4/6/08 11:12 AM
ryan's mom said... Your review was great! You are so right. Who wants to pay so much money for undergarments that won't be seen when you can make them just as nice in so little time. Nice to know about that elastic info. 4/6/08 11:33 AM
Heatherrique said... Cool, Debbie! Thanks for your review You inspired me to find what probably is a 70's issue of this KS in a box somewhere! 4/6/08 12:05 PM
Mary Stiefer said... It so nice when you find something that you can use and it is a quick pattern to work up. You've done it again girl - well done. 4/6/08 12:12 PM
OP Gal said... Great slip and great tips for sewing one. My next goal is to sew some lingerie. I've only made slips from batiste, so I'm determined to learn to sew tricot and make some panties, etc. for myself--with lots and lots of lace! 4/7/08 9:15 PM
Merry G said... Help...I am making 2 niteshirts...simple quick sew to give to a woman shelter but it is a V neck & I have trouble w/blind stitch...it skips stitches even though I put in a new stretch needle...any suggestions? 11/28/08 10:42 PM
