Renren said... This is one of the BWOF patterns I've had my eye on. You did a great job with the fit--very lovely. 1/19/09 10:46 PM
Diana M said... Looks like a nice, comfy and versatile spring shirt. Thanks for reviewing it -- what is the "sewing course"? 1/19/09 11:07 PM
Sherril Miller said... I like the cap sleeves and I don't think it's too stiff at all. The fit is spot on. 1/20/09 0:08 AM
CrescentaLuna said... Diana, that's Burda-speak for "detailed directions." Every issue has one garment for which full, step-by-step, illustrated instructions are provided - usually 2 pages at a minimum. I think these instructions are usually pretty good. Sherril, thank you very much! Looking at the pattern you'd think these little sleeves (are they "cap" or "cut-on"?) would be skimpy but in fact they're rather nice. 1/20/09 0:34 AM
