Pattern Description:
Misses Top: Close-fitting, pullover top with neck binding, seam detail, stitched hems, contrasting necks and sleeve bands.

Pattern Sizing: Women's 8-16

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

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I like design of this top -- it's really cute and the cut is flattering for me. I just got myself my first serger and learned how to use it on this top, which came together very easily.

Fabric Used:
I used 2 fabrics that I purchased from Marcie Tilton's website. I was very pleased with the quality of the fabrics.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I am short-waisted, so I always shorten the bodice by 1/2"

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I am already planning to make this again, and highly recommend it to others.

Conclusion: Very satisfying first serger project!
Buy this pattern for $22.50  List Price: $30.00   Add to Bag Add to Bag

Great top! I started really loving to sew when I got my first serger about 10 years ago. BTW, your pic does not enlarge when it is clicked.
