Stitcher's Guild

This is the first garment I've made this year!  I've sewn a bunch, but it's been all bags and quilts.

tada!:

it's an OOP Kwik Sew pattern (2643).  I'm not wild about it, and I think I'll give it away.  David looked at it and, well, he just stood there.  He was trying to think of something nice to say.  :)  not that he thought it was ugly, it's just not me.  I think it's a bit too big now too (I cut it out last summer).

Still, I sewed a garment! 

Linda, this is my favorite basic tee pattern!  I think it's just too large on you - you've lost some weight recently, yes?  I'd give it another go.

over 15# lost.  yep, i did lose weight and my boobs shrunk (i wonder what will happen when connor weans.  they'll disappear!).  i've been at goal for almost a year.  this stuff is really stretchy too, which doesn't help.

i will trace the XS off and i might not even do a FBA!  ( can you imagine!!! )

I have to admit I like it, but then, I've always preferred loose (you know, hide the big boobs syndrome).  But I can also see what you mean about how it would look better a little tighter.

I like the fabric, too. :)

Congrats on completing a garment. If you had to pick, isn't it better too big than too small?

I love the fabric and colors.  Maybe you could take it up some; I think it is just a little big and I agree with Marianne, it is better I think to be too big than too small.  You can usually do something with too big!

Congrats on weight loss.  When I reach the 15 lb. loss, I will announce for the whole world to hear!

Linda,

Very cute top, really!  It's a little big, but it also looks as though you meant it that way, especially with the extra-long sleeves, which I like.  It might be nice this summer when you want something with a little air moving around. 8)  I can't stand to wear knits in the summer unless they're kind of loose.  They just don't breathe otherwise, even if they're cotton.  Anyway, it looks cute on you. :)

Mamfitz,

As I said on your blog ~ I like the top on you.  I guess I like things a little loose also and it can always be altered if you want a closer fit.  But hey, at least you made something for yourself and you know where you want to go from here to make the next one!

Linda, I love the color and I think it looks just fine on you.  You're going to love those colors as Spring progresses and you want some "happy colors" to wear!
