I forgot to say, the top took 2 hours, start to finish, including tracing, using the serger for all seams and small zig zag with wooly nylon in the bobbin for hems.

Wow, this is so clever!

Geat job Lou, and much more fashion forward than any pattern I've seen...I'd love to see more when you finish them (even though there's no chance I'll ever be nursing again!)

You may hate the fabric but it looks nice in the picture. YOU are looking good these days. Your body is getting over being a mother.

Gorgeous! Mega creative -- I see that you had directions to follow, but you pulled them off beautifully! According to the "fashion police" animal prints are a must-have this year.

Very clever nursing top, Lou. The busy print makes it impossible to see the nursing openings.

Lou--It's beautiful!

very cool top cleaver way of doing it.

Good job--The animal print provides great camouflage for the secret nursing opening. No wardrobe malfunction here! Regarding grab bags, like you, I often don't like some of the remnants included, but the low prices provide great opportunities for wearable muslins.

Lou, will this pattern work with a panne velvet? I am so glad to see your review as this is on my list for fall. (It's still 80's here, so hard to get motivated to sew warm clothes!) I have another question: Are the grab bags worth it? Do you get enough fabric that you like or more that you don't like?
10/14/04 9:06 AM
Your shirt fits you very well. Nice job!
10/14/04 9:12 AM
I'm sure it would work with panne velvet as long as it has enough stretch. I think the grab bags are worth it, you really do take your chances on colours but wazoodle has never let me down on quality.

Great review, Lou! Thanks for the link to the directions-this looks like an easy way to modify for nursing. I have this pattern and I am going to try this-I think I even have that same fabric from wazoodle, lol...

Lou, you are right; this is a very flattering top on you.
10/14/04 12:28 PM
Lou - I just now saw your photo and can't believe how skinny you are, already! Just a little bosomy--very much to be expected for a nursing mom.

Doc says I lost 10.5lbs just giving birth and I only gained 17lb anyway so it seems to have just about gone from the belly, the boobs can stay though, I like them :-) It pays to be active during pregnancy...in my case a quick delivery and recovery.

Great top. Think mannequin could use a little bling bling on that boob!?!
10/14/04 7:44 PM
Great tops! I wish I had been sewing when I was nursing. It would've made getting dressed so much more fun.
10/15/04 10:07 AM
Oh Lou, it's so good to see you sewing for yourself again. Great review and outcome, I love your beautifully fitted tops.

Two hours? ! Ialso like the fabric print; it is fun (at least in the picture).
