Athene said... Such a lovely form fitting style, great fabric print and love the piping. It does look like some of the fabric is pulling at the back but I think you are so close to a very attractive TNT. 10/21/09 1:07 AM

Sic said... The piping looks very pretty! I am sorry you had such a hard time with this pattern. But, it does look very cute on you. Also, I kind of agree with your cynical assessment of Ms. Butler's pattern layout. 10/21/09 7:29 AM
sewing for fun said... Thanks for the warning. I have this pattern, but not tried yet due to my massive failure with trying to do an FBA on the Cabo halter pattern. Her patterns are definitely better for small-chested women. 10/21/09 11:00 AM
heathercampbell29 said... I hear you on the trouble with this pattern. I tried and failed on an FBA on this shirt too - yours turned out much better than mine, though! I hope your side zip modification works for you because I think you're pretty close to getting the alterations for this shirt correct. 10/21/09 3:32 PM

sewbeeit said... thanks for this review. I have this pattern and actually bought the fabric on the pattern cover. I find her patterns to be written a little awkwardly too. Guess I grew up with McCalls, Butterick and Simplicity and am use to those. I'm still a little intimated to start this project. I will definately read your review again before I start. Entertaining for sure. 11/17/09 10:17 PM
WildWyoming said... I appreciate your frank comments and your openness about your experience. I appreciate your humor, and I feel your pain. Great fabric. 5/15/10 2:14 PM
