SueV said... really nice, love your fabric and the hemstitching.... thanks for the review 2/12/10 12:09 PM
Fran S said... This is gorgeous! It's my favorite Sewing Workshop pattern -- I've made it a couple of times. I love the hemstitch -- definitely not a tablecloth! 2/12/10 1:03 PM
Aixoise said... The hemstitching is a beautiful touch. Lovely shirt. 2/12/10 1:52 PM
Red Curtain said... Lovely. What type of foot or special stitch do you use to do the hemstitching? It looks fabulous. 2/12/10 2:08 PM
Karendee said... I was going to ask the same question as Red Curtain. The skirt is absolutely gorgeous ; the fabric, style, and stitching are all beautiful. You have inspired me to make this pattern. 2/12/10 3:16 PM
Peggy L said... Love it! It really turned out great and I love the hemstitching. Glad you got these at the Quilt Show:) 2/12/10 3:42 PM
FreyaStark said... A very distinctive shirt. The fabric is lovely, and the topstitching is most impressive. 2/12/10 4:48 PM
Passion4Sewing said... Very nice top. I love the top-stitching! 2/12/10 6:50 PM
blue mooney said... Thank you all - The hemstitching is just one of the selections on my very basic Janome machine. They refer to it as a "smocking" stitch, and recommend using the satin stitch foot and a wing needle to make the holes. 2/12/10 9:47 PM
carnelian said... The combination of the textures of your fabric and your hem-stitching is gorgeous. 2/12/10 9:53 PM

fryman said... apparently this pattern came with a very generous designer ease and for some of us, it is really helpful but on others well. . .like yourself you cut a M instead of your usual XL Lucky you that your skills are up to these changes. Your top is beautiful. I know you will enjoy all the compliments. 2/13/10 9:44 AM
katie lynne said... What a neat rendition of this pattern. I think your choice of fabric is divine. Très cool! 2/13/10 5:21 PM

marthamyers said... Great fabric for a fabulous pattern. I think this is one of the SW's best patterns. It is really very versatile as you say in your last paragraph. Nice work! 2/13/10 9:15 PM
Christas said... What a gorgeous blouse! The hemstitching is such a beautiful detail. I have always wanted to try that stitch. Your blouse is wonderful inspiration for me! 2/14/10 0:00 AM

waltzqueen said... Really really pretty top and beatifully made. Damask was in inspired choice for this pattern, and is NOT just for tablecloths! Gee, if I had one without the collar I'd trade you - I need stand-ups for my chicken neck LOL 2/24/10 10:54 AM
