What I found was a fairly even split, something that I never noticed either. I really can't say that I prefer either, but it's interesting from a "style" point of view. BTW, your fabric choice was so Springy, it made me smile.

I made KS2694 a while ago, like it, and haven't made it again. I don't know why it has just sat in the pattern stash. I'm going to pull it out for my Spring/Summer sewing. I like what you did with the pattern.

...Great to see you posting Debbie $5 tops??????????<br />The reason men and women button differently is that buttons were the preserve of the rich. Girls were dressed and so buttoned up by others (works best for right-handed nursemaids), boys dressed themselves and so buttoned the other way which is easier to do yourself. I am now nipping off to find out when buttons stopped being too expensive to appear on poor peoples' clothes. It must be a left over from Medieval times.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02573558054295759199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-237044225089415432013-03-29T06:29:42.244-04:002013-03-29T06:29:42.244-04:00Love that KS top- there must be a zillions of it, ...Love that KS top- there must be a zillions of it, plus a million self-drafted variants in sewing land.
