I love the colors of teh plaid too. Matching plaids is easier for me if I cut everything single layer. But it is finicky work.

I then take the piece I&#39;m matching and extend these colored lines (after matching notches). Then place on my fabric and line up the colored lines I drew on the pattern piece. Remember to always match at the seam line not the cut line. Don&#39;t know if I explained that very well but I find it works great. Your blouse is a great knock off of the original.BConkyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12567728669689070443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363921935422034605.post-91323532091211004152009-07-05T22:03:22.161-07:002009-07-05T22:03:22.161-07:00it looks awesome of course....By the way, as a fellow Seattlite... do you happen to know any place that sells hardware locally? Things like large swivel clips or sliders for straps on a messenger style bag?<br /><br />And are there any large or well-stocked hobby stores besides Joanns here?

I love the sleeve detail. I wanted to make the tunic in Heather Ross&#39;s Weekend Sewing book. I have the pattern all traced but I wasn&#39;t sure what to do with the sleeves. I needed to do something with them so the top looks less like pjs. This is a perfect solution!LeeAnnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12353955432153587658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363921935422034605.post-32255218481407944722009-07-05T20:06:29.600-07:002009-07-05T20:06:29.600-07:00Great job, your new tunic looks fantastic.Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04229406683301436266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363921935422034605.post-3715233796941977162009-07-05T19:30:27.083-07:002009-07-05T19:30:27.083-07:00Great top and lovely knockoff.Bunnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03672695141031447916noreply@blogger.com
