Pattern Sizing:

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes, it did
front view
back view
side view

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Very easy

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
The sleeves were so simple after doing so many set-in sleeves it was a relief - no ease, no fitting.

Fabric Used:
LouLouThi cotton voile - shattered pattern. Awesome fabric! I call this my fourth-of-July shirt because it looks like fireworks, and because I finished sewing it on the fourth. One caution - don't use fusible interfacing with it. I did and it looks bad - it has tiny puckers all around the collar. A sew-in of cotton lawn or voile would work better.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
None needed, it's a loose fit.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes, I may sew it again, perhaps one of the alternate sleeves or collars.

	Lucy in Virginia said... Another great top! Very flattering! I would have passed this pattern up due to the less than inspiring pattern drawings, but looks great on a real person! 1/13/13 9:00 PM
	Sewingmomma83 said... So cute!!! Going on my list. I was wondering if I can use a light fabric? 3/28/13 10:50 AM
	wingamajig said... @ Sewingmomma83 - This is a sheer cotton voile - I think it works best in a light fabric that has good drape. 4/2/13 11:35 AM
