said... I own this pattern and have been waiting to see a review on it. I'm heartened that you found the dirctions good. I'm also hoping the sizes run big. I usually have to increase waist and hips. Thank you for taking the time to review this. The loops were a bit scary. Were they hard to do? 5/31/02 3:47 PM
said... Darla - I did not do the loops on this blouse but they shouldn't be too hard. Usually I make a long section and cut my loops out of the middle. That way you are cutting off where you started sewing - I usually don't start evenly! 6/29/02 11:35 PM
said... Peggy, that sleeve method is a good one. I think I saw it one of Clarie Schaeffer's books (or maybe it was the in the SewFit manual.) Anyway it works! 9/2/02 10:10 PM
said... Mini - I don't remember where I learned to do this. I used to do it years ago on the DDs little dresses but it was to put grow tucks in the skirts. I need to get my C. Schaeffer book out and review it. 9/2/02 10:28 PM
said... It is a very good blouse pattern, it's a kind of classic one would like to come back to year after year, thank you Peggy for reviewing it. 9/5/02 2:17 AM
