SewPie said... Great idea to sew the fronts and backs together. I have been thinking about doing this as I often find facings show through and just don't look that great. I'll try your way next time! 3/12/09 5:12 AM
morzel said... Thanks for the info on the neckline interfacing. You got two great tops! 3/12/09 5:16 AM
wendlesue said... Nice looking tops. I like your idea to eliminate the facing. I don't like them either, especially on knits. I just love that mesh fabric. 3/12/09 8:11 AM
marec said... Very nice neckline on these tops-it suits you perfectly. I am going to "steal" your idea on eliminating facings in this style. 3/12/09 9:19 AM
Byrdie said... Great looking top! You can make this one in a different colors and prints. 3/12/09 10:13 AM
sewtime said... Love your top!!! 3/12/09 10:34 AM
AnneMarie60 said... Gorgeous! Wonderful idea about doubling the mesh knit front and back pieces! 3/12/09 10:37 AM
j222b said... I love boat necks, too. I like the way you lined front and back version 2 and the sleeves are left unlined-this looks nice and is interesting to view. 3/12/09 1:54 PM
nellc said... Lovely tops, this is such a flattering neckline. 3/12/09 2:30 PM
FurGal said... What a smart idea of sewing 2 fronts and 2 backs, automatic neckline finish! Love your tops. 3/12/09 3:15 PM
Sew4Fun said... Pretty tops, especially the mesh version. 3/12/09 6:40 PM
Heatherrique said... This is such a sensational top on you, Sue! I foresee that this will be a favorite pattern of 2009! 3/12/09 9:29 PM
Christas said... Very cute..... nice fabric choice! 3/12/09 10:03 PM
Caitycat said... The mesh top looks great - and maybe if we could get access to real stretch interfacing then using it in the way Burda suggests would work - otherwise it's just too stiff!! 3/12/09 10:09 PM
sewhappygrams said... Great looking tops. I do like the quarter sleeves as well. Great job!! 3/12/09 10:33 PM
Heidi Ho said... Both of your tops are beautiful and that style really looks good on you. It is really cool the way the print from the lining shows through, I never would have thought to try that, it is a great effect. 3/13/09 0:11 AM

Karen8320 said... Nice work here, Sue, and both tops look great on you. Cutting two fronts and backs in the mesh is a great idea. I have no doubt you will be making many more variations of this pattern. 3/13/09 2:48 AM
Jane S said... What nice tops. The boat neck makes it very chic and the mesh double layers worked out beautifully. 3/13/09 7:25 AM
