Pattern Description:
Short sleeve t-shirt with bound neck and arms; yoke; and front bodice gathered to yoke.

Pattern Sizing:
128-170. I made size 134 slimmed to size 128.

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?
This is a very cute t-shirt with great details. All the gathering and binding is time consuming (: but takes the shirt from average to interesting.

The instructions call for the use of clear elastic to gather the fabric, a technique which I'm really warming to, although I didn't like it my first few tries. I've even starting using it for gathering in other patterns.

My one slight dislike: the shirt seemed a little short and wide. I'd fix this next time just by adding length. The interlock I used is of course thicker than a jersey, so that's adding some boxiness to the fit.

More photos in a blog post.

Fabric Used:
Interlock from Chez Ami.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
None.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I made this this summer and had kind of forgotten about it, but I would make it again.

Conclusion:
Nice shirt with great details.
