Kemish said... I saw this on your blog (yes, I am a lurker) and just love it. What a great top! You are right - What's not to love about a great knit top. This is definitely a TNT pattern. 5/1/12 3:59 PM
SavageCoco said... Oh Snap! Let's see pics of the hem finish too please! Oh HOW did you turn the corner on your serger??!! Tell tell!! 5/1/12 4:15 PM
sfshaza said... Very carefully, SavageCoco! I started the serging at the inside corner and going towards the horizontal hem. I went all the way around and ended at the point. I then started again at the bottom of the point and ended back at the inside corner. It was a little tricky, but not too bad. I'll try to get better pics. 5/1/12 4:19 PM
DorothyK said... I love this top - and the fabric is fabulous. I'm glad I got to see it in person - it's even better than the picture. Great job with your alterations. 5/1/12 4:33 PM
sfshaza said... Thanks, Dorothy! :)
SavageCoco, I added more pictures and explanation of the hem to this review and to the blog. 5/1/12 4:53 PM

Barbara V said... I'm impressed with your serger acrobatics! Super job throughout on this great looking top on you and really nice choice of fabric for the style. 5/1/12 7:44 PM
Karendee said... Shams, just noticed the lettering in the fabric of your top. What wonderful fabric. I couldn't see that while reading your blog. Another great top for you. 5/1/12 8:27 PM
SavageCoco said... Shaza - thanks so much for the serger pics! 5/1/12 9:03 PM
Annette1 said... SO cute, but then WHAT ELSE IS NEW? I know you'll be SHOCKED to know that I have this pattern, too. :o) I'd better start bookmarking your reviews, so I can follow in your footsteps -- ha! Oh, by the way, I LOVE Walk Off the Earth and had never heard of them until I saw the links on your blog. They're right up my alley, and NOW I want a ukelele -- ha! (Probably spelled that wrong.) Seems like I was going to tell you something else, but I can't remember what. Oh, I know: Mood is having a sale on lots of brightly-colored fabrics. Got the email today. :o) LORD KNOWS I need more fabric. I can almost walk a path through my sewing room with no obstructions. 5/1/12 11:12 PM
Danvillegirl said... Very nice. Sometimes you just have to ignore the instructions and sew what you know normally works for you. 5/2/12 7:01 AM
