The below waist pieces wouldn't of course match up, but they're intended to be angled and stripes would highlight the design too. It'll be striking!Gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091315686616574564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611323651828889930.post-68226854979107114022011-05-11T21:09:57.420+10:002011-05-11T21:09:57.420+10:00Thank you all for your positive comments - I'm...Thank you all for your positive comments - I'm so pleased that talented sewers such as yourselves like this top too!Gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091315686616574564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611323651828889930.post-39611292512294785542011-05-10T13:41:32.024+10:002011-05-10T13:41:32.024+10:00That IS a great pattern!

Don't worry about the HongKong seaming, it's not as difficult as it appears. It's one of those techniques that looks so good in the finished version it makes you wonder why you haven't been doing it all along... :)Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156106727490224625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611323651828889930.post-79887463284061849762011-05-10T12:43:58.811+10:002011-05-10T12:43:58.811+10:00I love how there is a story behind each garment th...I love how there is a story behind each garment that we sew for ouselves.

Do you reckon it could be made in a stripy fabric or would the pattern matching be a nightmare? I love the pics of Lombok too, I remember going there years ago and watching the fabric weaving.Jacquiehttp://homemadecouture.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611323651828889930.post-12452905885495946082011-05-10T08:53:31.561+10:002011-05-10T08:53:31.561+10:00That's very pretty.
