    I bought this pattern a couple of years ago and finally found the perfect fabric on Michael Levine's website. I am going to make my dress using this fabric (I love color)! http://www.lowpricefabric.com/p-3976-wet-paint-polyester-knit-ml217295-purple-mint.aspx I can't wait to see how it turns out! His fabric selection is huge, awesome and affordable. I will definitely buy by fabric here. I'm so glad that I found your website! Have a wonderful day!

    Great sew along tutorial Mimi. I already planned to sew this top on Saturday. Your construction was more informative than the pattern. Cool!

    I have this pattern, one of my first disasters, lol. it was 2nd pattern i'd ever done, did the sides on the wrong side of fabric so all the lose part was inside the, lol. Only recently after more experience was i able to fix it and draft a call sleeve fir the other side. Thanks for tut and color block idea!

    I bought the pattern and some fabric to try this. I haven't sewn anything in a few years so we'll see how this goes. But, I will follow your tutorial. This would be fantastic for my cruise. Wish me luck!!!!
