The patterns are so cute and hard to resist! <br /><br />Thanks for commenting on my blog. :-)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08679998588660500127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653235192841942450.post-8655153401846018402010-01-01T10:47:02.098-08:002010-01-01T10:47:02.098-08:00BTW, I will probably make it again - just using a...BTW, I will probably make it again - just using a stretch fabric or a fabric with a nice drape with a retro print.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13197442485237029218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653235192841942450.post-47653856366506527882010-01-01T10:45:55.236-08:002010-01-01T10:45:55.236-08:00Thanks Julia - So true, I'm especially critic...Thanks Julia - So true, I'm especially critical of myself!! Well, it's really big on my co-worker - it's possible she may give it back - it's tailored for me! If she does I will wear it with shorts in the summer and layered over a tank. Note to self: Full back zippers can be iffy.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13197442485237029218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653235192841942450.post-57939701579308340192009-12-29T08:12:05.010-08:002009-12-29T08:12:05.010-08:00I love the pattern and considering all the things ...I love the pattern and considering all the things you don't like about it, you have to admit it must be pretty good or your co worker wouldn't have wanted it. We are sometimes our own worse critics and we see the mistakes that no one else ever will. Good luck next time.juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12423393733607579888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653235192841942450.post-53128954446835896212009-12-24T10:39:48.510-08:002009-12-24T10:39:48.510-08:00Lucky me!

I really didn't want to finish (especially after ripping out sleeves three times) but I did - and I'm glad - I'm wearing this into work today (but no one is there:)). Thankfully. Thanks for the tips!!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13197442485237029218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653235192841942450.post-21535613720200706232009-12-24T03:51:56.681-08:002009-12-24T03:51:56.681-08:00LOVE that pattern!

No quilting cotton for apparel (unless you are under 10 years old - then it's OK). This would be super fabulous in a firm knit like Ponte. It would drape nicely and you could probably skip the zipper entirely, or just put in a short one. On the plus side, you did a great job on the binding and the "V" is beautiful. Sharp points are hard!!KID, MDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16317731987862366557noreply@blogger.com
