Pattern Description:
Top and Camisole:
Loose-fitting tops have machine-stitched hems. A, C: sleeveless. B: flared long sleeve. D: flared short sleeve, purchased brooch. Camisole E has front darts.
I made the camisole.
Pattern Sizing:
xs - medium. I made the XS.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes it did. Here's what it looks like.
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes, the instructions were easy to follow.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I liked this style and fit of this pattern for the jungle fabric I had in my stash.
I wanted to use this woven remnant as a cami as I'd originally bought it to line a bag, but bag making is not my sewing priority at the moment. I enjoy sewing clothes most of the time.
Fabric Used:
Blue leopard print rayon. Blue leopards don't exist

) but I thought this print would work with my blue/navy clothes.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I shortened the bust darts by 2.5cm.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I would sew this cami again and I would recomment it to others.
I've made a bias cami.
Then I used a silk table cloth for a pretty hand painted version.
Conclusion:
This is now my TNT cami. I'll have a go at extending it with an a-line skirt pattern to above knee length for a slip.

	Renata said... Who said there aren't blue leopards. I bet 'they' also said there were no white tigers. You need to go on safari in your lion dress and find out. I really love that blue cami, too nice to be hidden. 1/21/13 6:32 PM
