I finally finished the Petite Plus shirt I started when I purchased the fabric in 2008. I didn't cut it out until 2011 though, after I made a muslin. I reviewed it today on PatternReview, and you can see the link to that review and more on the right side of the page here. I love the fabric, and I like the lace hemming. I put a zipper in instead of a bunch of buttons and button holes too. It isn't as closely fitted as they want you to think, and that is fine with me. This would make a nice addition to the TNT (Tried and True) pattern staple. I haven't any more garment projects planned, although with Summer coming, there just might be inspiration in the air. I do have a slight stash, so it is possible to sew a few more shirts for Summer. Sunday, February 26, 2012

Great top - can't wait to try the pattern out. I might try putting a zip in as well. I have a great RTW top like this with a zip. Love your version.
While I am here I have to say that the name of your blog ALWAYS makes me smile when I see it (and hum).
:) I always hum as well. It just came to me one day...I hope you try this top - it is a good pattern! Looking forward to a review from you, and thanks!
