Pattern Description:
Vest, hat, scarf, bag and Cape
Pattern Sizing:
Sizes 8-18
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?
The instructions were well written with good illustrations.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
It was a simple sew that looks great. No dislikes.
Fabric Used:
100% Ralph Lauren Cashmere. Thinsulate black lining.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I interfaced the collar and front facings with a lightweight iron in, top stitched the collar and all around the main body of cape. Changed the four closures to just one which I preferred.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Probably not, I liked the pattern but one cape is enough!
Conclusion:
Very happy indeed. More pictures are on my blog www.achallengingsew.typepad.com
