Hilary said... :o) I love your review,~your top is really cute. As for the gathering woes, I can relate! I have made gathers that seem to move and relocate after I have supposedly secured them ~very frustrating!! I still haven't figured out why...but I love your idea about just stretching it out and wearing it as a dress!! LOL! thanks for the review, good job even if you had to take the long way to get there. 12/7/03 5:39 PM
CarolynGM said... jlg -- you've done it again -- another lovely creation that suits you and fits you perfectly. You really have a knack for choosing distinctive patterns that flatter you and pairing them with just the right fabric. Well done! 12/7/03 5:54 PM
alex said... sorry to read about your frustration, but it does make the review more helpful for the rest of us. Thanks for the 'no boob' tip, I'm adding this one to the list.;-) 12/7/03 6:07 PM
Dale C said... Hmm... that might be the top for me. :) I love the way your garments look. I just surfed through your photo album and they're all so lovely... And so many Asian inspired designs! Beautiful. 12/7/03 6:07 PM
cindyann said... Another really lovely creation from you. You do such nice work. I too, suffer from "narrow chest circumference" so anything that enhances that area is great. Adding to wish list. 12/7/03 6:24 PM
Enid E said... Wow, love the fabric and how this top looks on you! 12/7/03 6:36 PM
Lisette said... I am so glad you reviewed this pattern, it is in my stash and I bought it for the view you made. Your top came out great! 12/7/03 7:06 PM
Motorposus said... That top is too cool! You're curvier than Tyra Banks in it! That jersey has such beautiful drape and color, too. Whatever troubles you had putting it together don't show at all. 12/7/03 7:46 PM
Rennie Ashby said... I agree with Motorposus. You look so poised and relaxed in the photo and the top looks great. Never would I dream you had troubles. Sorta glad to know this does happen to others, too. 12/7/03 8:14 PM
Rhonda Noah said... Very lovely top, and it really suits you. Glad it worked out in the end, although it must have been frustrating during the process. 12/8/03 2:29 PM

Lee Ann Hawkins said... Thanks for the helpful review! You look terrific in oranges, I enjoyed surfing your album as well. Who is your faithful sewing companion? Or does he just model with you?! 12/9/03 1:47 AM
jlg said... Thanks everyone for your kind comments. Lee Ann, Zeus is my modeling companion only. I would never let this perpetual puppy into my sewing room; the room and I would never recover. 12/9/03 5:35 AM
