The really boho peasant tops aren't my style, but this one looks a lot more modern--that's what I like about it.

I love the idea of doing some embroidery at the neck or hem. I bet it would be cute with the Mabel too!L**, Bathtub Fabric Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11850512533584110856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872782147494855823.post-14604006413704228152014-04-25T12:25:22.475-07:002014-04-25T12:25:22.475-07:00I know that the Tie Me Down pattern is *somewhere*...I know that the Tie Me Down pattern is *somewhere* in the house (I wouldn't have tossed it), but it's not in any of the, um, 3 bankers boxes of HotPatterns that I have. Stuff ended up in weird places with our move.<br /><br />I am going to make up the new peasant blouse as soon as my copy arrives, as the next project I make after my halfway-done StyleArc Amber top (which should be in the next couple of days).

The more I see the Mabel skirt, the more I like it!<br /><br />The book looks really good; I may buy it after my birthday. I do have Sew U's knits book, but the illustrations and pics are really tempting me!<br /><br />Too bad you can't find the Tie Me Down pattern. You could borrow mine (uncut) if you want or maybe Trudy has an old pattern sitting around to send you in exchange for a blog post? I really should make that blouse. It really does seem universally flattering on PR.L**, Bathtub Fabric Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11850512533584110856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872782147494855823.post-60496309600514645862014-04-24T12:43:26.266-07:002014-04-24T12:43:26.266-07:00Even as a knit veteran, I'm still happy that I...Even as a knit veteran, I'm still happy that I bought the book. I'm kind of torn on wishing that I'd bought the e-book version though--I've gotten spoiled by my Kindle (and associated apps) and kind of wish that I could pull up the content anywhere, rather than needing the physical book nearby.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12940774293224434567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872782147494855823.post-45996473385208363452014-04-24T12:41:18.550-07:002014-04-24T12:41:18.550-07:00Thanks!

I did read her first chapter & I liked how it was presented & especially liked the photos. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16542957284946749961noreply@blogger.com
