bunz said... Great review, thanks. Looks like a perfect pattern for a SWAP. Your skirt looks lovely and fits wonderfully. I was pleasantly surprised that the purple and chartreuse made such a nice color combo -- never would have thought of that!! 6/29/05 10:19 AM
Sherril Miller said... What a darling little grouping. I sure wish I could stick with a SWAP project long enough to get a travel wardrobe done. Skirts are a great choice, cool and breezy and the cardigan to keep warm when necessary. 6/29/05 10:57 AM
jlg said... Great pieces. I love the drape and fit of the skirt. 6/29/05 11:14 AM
MaryBeth said... Ohhhh, neat stuff, Patti. Great job. I wish there was a closeup of the cardigan's trimmings, sounds to creative. Lovely work and you're going to look so good! 6/29/05 12:54 PM
Patti B said... bunz, I forgot that I was wearing that top but I do like chartreuse and purple. :-) I actually made a rayon batik blouse that I'll review later that is purple, green and aqua. MaryBeth, I posted a closer view of my meager embellishments at the end of the review. 6/29/05 2:28 PM

ryan's mom said... That is such a nice-looking skirt. I like the length too, and the color is great. Great review on this pattern! 6/30/05 7:00 AM
AnneM said... I have this pattern! (Haven't made it yet.) I really like that shirt hem. And I really like the skirt. Thanks for the inspiration. 6/30/05 7:42 AM
Teri said... Very nice SWAP pieces. They will be so much fun to wear on your trip! 6/30/05 1:52 PM
pjrsews said... I really like the embelishments on your shell and cardigan. The ruffle definitely looks like an "on purpose". Kudos on the skirt, too. I just made a similar one, but have the same waist problem so I added a narrow waistband with a slightly elastic waist along with the zipper. 6/30/05 2:19 PM
Patti B said... pjrsews, I almost did the same thing -- maybe next time. I did go back yesterday and sew in 1/2 inch elastic, a bit shorter than the circumference, to the seam allowance of the waist and that seems to help it hang where I want it to. Thanks for all the nice comments! 6/30/05 2:23 PM
JDpenelope said... What a beautiful drape on that skirt! And I totally love the lime green with the purple, intentional or not. It's too bad this pattern is out of print. 6/30/05 6:05 PM
Lee Ann Hawkins said... almost makes me buy yet another pattern! Lovely set, enjoy. It is fun to have memories of travels with your fabrics. 6/30/05 7:42 PM
