Gigi Louis said... Very cute! Isn't it amazing how one pattern can have so many different looks depending on the fabric used? I just remembered that I was going to make this into a caftan. That should use up a good amount of yardage. :-) 8/20/03 5:37 PM
KathleenS said... Yes, there certainly isn't much resemblance between my top and your dress :) 8/20/03 5:47 PM
Jennie Pakula said... Kathleen, how were the instructions for the neckband? It looks good in the photo. I have used the Jalie t-shirt pattern and the neckband really didn't turn out well. 8/20/03 6:30 PM
Enid E said... I like the short sleeves, the sleeves in another color really look good..done like this, it makes a good pattern for those of us with narrow or sloping shoulders Great Top! 8/20/03 8:02 PM
KathleenS said... Jennie, I think that the neckband attachment method is good and I'm pleased with the result. (It is a neckband, not a binding - not sure what the Jalie pattern has?) However, that is where the notches are missing for View A. The neck opening has to be eased in to fit the neckband and instead of the intended four matchpoints there are only two. However, as I said I managed without them - it's just a matter of distributing the ease evenly around the band. 8/21/03 3:34 AM
Jennie Pakula said... Thanks Kathleen - I'll have to check it out! 8/21/03 5:07 PM
Deepika said... Kathleen, I have this pattern too but havent made it yet. Your top looks very RTW! Thanks for the helpful review. 8/22/03 10:43 AM
KathleenS said... Thanks Deepika! I am very pleased with how RTW this looks too (only it's long enough for me as well :D ) 8/22/03 11:48 AM
Mariko said... Looks really nice, Kathleen! I like raglan sleeves because it is very comfortable. I will try this pattern. Thank you for your review. 8/22/03 12:01 PM
