yes What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
super simple and great fit - no dislikes Fabric Used:
left over poly spandex from FM Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I cut view A and just left off the origami trim, I was between sizes, so I cut an A and used a 3/8" SA instead of the 5/8" SA. I also used a 2" wide elastic WB and attached as per view B Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
yes - I think this is going to be a great mini for summer - lots of design possibilities too. Conclusion:
This has been in my stash and again, what was I waiting for! the fabric front back
