Kellie R. said... Cute top Cindy! It doesn't appear boxy in the photo... I like the trim you added to the bottom and THANKS for the reference on how draft facings. That's really useful! Great job! 8/20/09 11:04 AM
Deepika said... When I looked at your photo and compared it to the pattern, I thought.... the pattern doesnt look as cool as her top. And of course when I read your review I saw that you customized it. I love it! So creative. 8/20/09 11:05 AM

Markie1 said... Well, I just love this. I think you are awfully clever, Cindy with your shirred panel and all. May I copy your copy? BTW, you ADDED the panel? Or you just shirred the existing fabric? 8/20/09 10:37 PM
Anniinbc said... Cute top - I think it looks better than the J. Crew version. Especially like the lace trim. 8/21/09 10:48 AM

CynthiaSue said... Markie, I just shirred the "existing" panel of gathers. MarianS., I LOVE the shirring. If you start looking, you'll see it all over stores now. It's really easy. I tried to link the message board about it but the linking mechanism wasn't working. I'll send you a PM with some info. 8/22/09 0:38 AM
