Renren said... I was not aware of New Looks Just4Knits line, so thanks for bringing it to my attention. This looks like a very useful pattern and I do love the gray stretch velvet. 9/5/09 8:05 AM
JDpenelope said... I appreciate your candor, making this a very instructive review. The silver fabric is lusciously beautiful, but I agree with you that the sleeves don't work, at least not in this size and perhaps not in this fabric. 9/5/09 8:23 AM
LollyVee said... That fabric is so glam on you. The sleeves don't seem too 'poofy'...what about making them short sleeves! 9/5/09 11:27 AM

oceandaughter said... I love how your top turned out (and being a romantic I love the sleeves!). Gives me courage to try this one! I will probably lengthen the upper piece also. 11/3/09 9:46 AM
