okie2thdoc said... I've really been wanting to try this pattern. Thanks for the advice on the up-sizing. I had read the sleeves are tight too. This looks great and I love the idea to use an old t-shirt- fab! 6/29/08 8:01 PM
leanmeansewingmachine said... Great top! 6/29/08 8:20 PM
Olivia Sews said... I just got this pattern in the mail. I have been wanting it awhile. This is the first time I have bought a Jalie pattern. It's a little confusing with the girls sizes and a maternity top?? I like the paper they use and it is really a cute style. Thanks for a great review! 6/29/08 8:20 PM
CurlyCrafter said... I always enjoy reading your reviews. You have such a fun style and these tops are great. I think it's so fun you used an old t-shirt. I'll have to try that sometime. 6/29/08 8:41 PM
Kim12469 said... I just traced this out tonight. I can't wait to cut it out. Thanks for the tips. Actually, I really like the old T-shirt one too! 6/29/08 10:05 PM

craftygamma said... I am not planning to make this top, but thanks for the old T-shirt idea! I have trouble finding lightweight knits for summer PJ's for the grandbabies at a reasonable price! I can't wait to go looking at Goodwill now. 6/30/08 7:59 AM
Annette1 said... Great review, and a great top, as well -- even the sausage casing! :o) You wear it well. I really like the idea of the elastic in the modesty panel. 6/30/08 7:54 PM
Athene said... Thanks for the great review. If the size P is too tight on you, it tells me it will probably fit my petite DD> 6/30/08 8:05 PM

Renren said... Interesting on the elastic in the strap--just read last week at Tips&Techniques about putting elastic in the straps to keep them from slipping off shoulders. Also, the mini-ruching you did at the shoulders adds a really nice designer touch. My daughter's tops from Calvin Klein (and some others whose names escape me) almost always have these little details that kick the top up a notch. Also, what are those figure 8 objects for in your scavenged notions pile? Oh, by the way, nice shirt!!! 1/19/09 8:18 AM
angie.a said... This one almost snuck by me! Great save! Ok, can I just say that was an ugly dress? Much better use of the fabric! :D 1/20/09 7:24 AM
