Pattern Description: Faux Fur Shrug

Front View

Pattern Sizing: 6,8,10,12,14. I cut out a size 10.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes, I made view F.

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes, very easy.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love the fur shrug look! I was going for a Victoria Beckham in Fur Shrug look and I could use this for upcoming holiday dress up and a going out little jacket.

Fabric Used: Faux fur and Ambiance lining from Mill End store in Milwakee, OR. Total cost to make: about $31.00
Side view with a peek of the lining

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I cut the back piece on the fold to eliminate the center back seam.
Back View

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? This is my second time sewing it in a year, so I suppose it's always a possibility! I'd probably move on though to other similar patterns for this use.

Conclusion: Great little shrug that is a quick and easy sew with nice results!
