Pattern Description:
This is a vintage ish pattern. It is very quick to make and has these inetersting flap panels.
Pattern Sizing:
This one is in one size, which I had to take in a lot. This was a bit tedious in my first make but made this one a lot quicker.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
I think so. I decided to play around with patterned fabric a bit more, so it has a bit more of a modern feel I think.

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Talking them through aloud helped me but it is actually super quick and easy.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I love the different panels and how they create the shape. Makes this a very quick and pleasing sewing expirience.
Fabric Used:
a stripey cotton silk mix
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
Took the pack seam in 2 inches in total, the sides an inch each and added pockets as patches.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
this was the second time I made it, so yes.
Conclusion:
nice and more versatile pattern than I thought.

The contrast pocket is fun! What a nice way to break up the stripes.
