Gelbean said... Love your top! The fabric is really nice. The lego surprised me and I burst out in laughter. 6/9/11 8:02 AM
Nan Kay said... You got a great fit with this top! Another pattern that I need! Looks really good on you. 6/9/11 8:07 AM
Knitz said... Very figure flattering -- nicely done! I hear you about ITY knits though -- although some do seem worse offenders than others, so don't give up on them all. 6/9/11 8:17 AM
Amanda.Claire said... I'm so excited! This is so cute on you and I have the pattern! Giant facings....hmmmmm. Maybe binding or a narrow ribbing, would work better. 6/9/11 8:22 AM
sewbehind said... Lovely top on you. Check out The Sewing Lawyer's tutorial (blog) on the Jalie dress. She has a review here too. (Kay Y) She explains the technique they use on the Jalie dress. It might be just what you are looking for. 6/9/11 8:36 AM
carolynw said... Great looking top - fit is perfect 6/9/11 9:06 AM
SewWil said... Very pretty top. I just picked up this pattern. Yours fits you very well. The lego picture made me laugh. Nice touch. 6/9/11 9:50 AM
JanieBee said... In spite of its polyesterness, this looks wonderful on you! Great fit! 6/9/11 9:54 AM
marec said... haha, clever woman with the lego analogy. I love the top on you and the fit is perfection for your lean self. I have not made this pattern but have made others with a lining through the bust area. Modesty issue? 6/9/11 10:05 AM
TanyaDenise said... Very cute top. 6/9/11 11:35 AM

StellaTB said... I passed over this pattern many times but your photo makes me want to pick it up and give it a try, thanks! 6/9/11 12:36 PM
GlobalMom said... Are we pattern twins yet again? I just picked up this pattern at the last Simpicity sale at Joann's.... I think it just went up a few notches on the "to be sewn" list. Thanks for the review! 6/9/11 1:09 PM
cleverkitty said... I wrote this pattern down once I saw your top, love the style and fabric. As far as jersey I HATE working with it too, the coverstitch machine is the best answer to this fabric. I usually bind the armholes, stabilize the neck and by time I get to the hem I want to run out and buy a coverstitch machine, my serger does not have that feature :( 6/9/11 3:55 PM
blondieinparis said... This top looks great on you! ITY jersey always behaves better for me if I use a walking foot. 6/9/11 4:52 PM
imsewcrazy said... I really love your top. It looks better on you than it does the girl on the envelope! 6/9/11 5:26 PM
Flying Seamstress said... Your "magical" top is perfect! Great fit, very flattering! 6/9/11 5:50 PM
Ms. Bijou said... Very nice! Perfect fit!! 6/9/11 7:37 PM
loti said... OMG too funny, you are not a lego, love the top it is beautiful! 6/9/11 7:54 PM
beginagain said... Love the top! I find the #12 ballpoint needle gives better results than the stretch needle. Also I second the walking foot. 6/9/11 11:14 PM
MNBarb said... Wow! Thanks everyone. I did use a walking foot and it was helpful. I think I'm just so accustomed to sewing natural fabrics like linen that stay where you put them. I need lots more practice with these wiggly knits. 6/10/11 8:09 AM
VivianZ said... I love your top, especially with that fabric, so cute. I just bought an ITY knit to try. I have tried others knits , but then still want to forget it. I have a serger with a coverstitch, and still don't like it. But I just read to starch the dickens out of where you are having trouble, and that helps. So I will try that. 6/10/11 8:41 AM
Christas said... WOW!!!!!! Barb, this is a very flattering top on you! Fantastic review! 6/14/11 11:02 PM
dingyadi said... What a gorgeous top and fabulous colour fabric. You are definitely not Lego shaped! I've never noticed this pattern before but will be checking it out now for sure. 6/15/11 4:16 AM
sewbehind said... Wow, Barb, that pink one is gorgeous. You look great in that top. In place of a coverstitch machine you can always try a twin stretch needle. That will give you the same look, but not quite the stretch of a coverstitch. 6/15/11 10:02 AM
marec said... wow-very nice top Barb. 6/15/11 11:50 AM
JTink said... Great looking top and I just love this color 6/15/11 11:54 AM
CarolynGM said... It's a lovely, very flattering top. I love the toughened Jell-O description of ITY jersey. 6/15/11 2:18 PM
Barbara V said... Love your "tickled pink" version. Had not noticed this variation of the twist top. I like the twist positioned lower. It is indeed very flattering on you. Great job and enjoyable review! Don't worry about the scary inside! No one will ever know ;-) 6/16/11 12:13 PM
ArtAttack said... Great top...definitely your color 6/20/11 1:18 AM
