michellep74 said... I've been on the fence about this pattern (I love the look, but wasn't sure how the foldover would break above my bust), but based on your version, this is a very cute, flattering pattern. I have some of that same fabric in my stash, too! 8/20/08 0:41 AM
Fran G said... Another winner, Debbie! I just ..almost..finished my first Jalie top and am impressed with the fit, the drafting, the instructions. You've given me another to make. Another great tutorial, too. Thanks for all of the time you put into your reviews! 8/20/08 7:06 AM
shesflipped said... I love the foldover version of your top, your fabric choice, the contrasting neckband, and the wide hem bottom. Great to hear that you can use the sweetheart pattern sleeves perfectly, too. Great review, great top! 8/20/08 7:11 AM

marykpfist said... Debbie- great tip/tutorial on using the machine for the foldover, and on the other sleeves fitting-- thanks! 8/20/08 8:37 AM
Sewing Chick said... I love your top. This is a pattern I keep meaning to buy. I had to chuckle at your alterations. I have high rounded back and sloping shoulders, so I guess I won't have to make any alterations! 8/20/08 9:21 AM

Kellie R. said... Very nice Debbie. The fabric is perfect for the pattern and it's great with the skirt. It's versatile and very stylish. Great job! 8/20/08 3:54 PM
Winifred said... Love this outfit Debbie - very attractive. I've made a top from BWOF with a foldover section like this and a tutorial was previously done by another PR member which was v. helpful - too lazy to go & find the issue- its nearly midnight LOL. Anyway, after all that I rhink the Jalie one is great. Dear little dog. 8/20/08 6:40 PM
EveS said... I can't take it anymore. I must have this pattern. Love your version, Debbie, and love that fabric, too! Gotta try that neckline trim! 8/20/08 6:41 PM

Raye Ann said... i love all of your versions! yep- definately going to purchase this pattern. it has been on my wish list. i am just finishing up the third version of jalie2682 (my first jalie experience!) and will be posting results soon. btw- i espcially love your use of contrast bindings- you have a great eye for colors and prints! 7/21/09 6:14 PM
Jo Ann Ely said... Debbie is worth her weight in gold!!!!! 7/22/09 7:41 AM
mssewcrazy said... I promised no more patterns until I sew something- and here you have me break this resolution with two. Your new top is simply wonderful and to know the sleeves of the two patterns can change out well that is just too great to know. 7/22/09 8:21 AM
Mermie said... Love it! 7/22/09 11:37 AM

EveS said... Love this green version, Debbie! (And your green shoes, and your green walls...) Another green-hater, I see! ;) Anyway, thanks for the tip about the sleeves and the reminder about the high back neck...I recall this problem, too, on the sh top. 8/11/09 7:52 AM
Debbie, this looks great on you! And with the skirt, you've got a wonderful ensemble. I like your method on the foldover too.
