Pattern Description:
Tank top with an accent pleat down the front.

Pattern Sizing:
0 - 18. I cut a size 4 in the bust and graded to a 10 in the waist.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
YES!

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes, it was a simple shoulder seam, the sides, attaching bias tape and a hem. Very easy!

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
It went together in an afternoon! The fit is wonderful!
Fabric Used:
I used a little under a yard of an art gallery fabric print - Cherry Damask. I purchased this for $4.95/yard from fabric.com back in 2011.

I made bias tape from the fabric for the neck and arms.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
None!
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes, I will probably sew it again, in a different type of fabric. it would be a great beginner project.
Conclusion:
This pattern was very easy to make. I would make this again. It went together quickly and easily. Because this was a pattern I printed out, it was easy to cut the size I needed. I generally don't cut to the size on patterns, in case I want to make one for someone else.
