Pattern Description:
Workroom from Project Runway, misses' belted knit dress with neckline and sleeve variations. New Look Just 4 Knits sewing pattern.Pattern Sizing:10-22
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?very easy
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like everything about this pattern! EVERYTHING!
Fabric Used:IYT Jersey
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:Added 2 inches to skirt. I lengthen the sleeves. After putting the neck facing on, I did not turn it inside and topstitch. Instead I left it on the outside, pressed it down and used as a binding. This worked out well since my topstitching doesn't always come out so great.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I know I've made this dress and few times already but I can't help it! I love this pattern! It is the 'Best of 2012' in my book!
Conclusion: Did I say I love this pattern? If you haven't tried it, you should. It comes together very quickly and it is great for beginners. more pics

1SewSweet said... I too love your versions of this pattern! I have this pattern too and have not made it yet for fear of "Gaposis" in the front. You don't appear to have that problem on any of your versions either. Maybe I'll give it a try soon. Thanks for the review! 1/12/13 12:49 PM
