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? Super easy. I only looked at them to see how the collar was gathered.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love that this pattern will allow me to add many light to mid-weight outerwear options to my wardrobe. This pattern runs kind of big and since I have sloping shoulders, that's not good but thankfully, because of the unstructured nature of the garment, it still works.
Fabric Used: This was sold as a ponte knit but it is really more of a french terry.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I definitely plan to.
Conclusion: I've had this pattern for awhile, I'm glad I finally got around to sewing it. A nice entry into outerwear for beginners.

I'm usually inspired by the work you do but for some reason I can't click the thumbnail. This looks like another successful project for you.

What a pretty jacket! I can't believe it is french terry. It looks like wool from the pics. I love me some french terry!!

What Amanda said, plus I like the two tone collar.

VERY cute, and I like this particular pattern because the drapes on the front seem to be very management and flattering.

Nice job. Cardis are so versatile and can really change up the look of an outfit. Nice color too!
