Pattern Description:
Misses' knit top in two lengths has surplice or boat neckline and can be made with 3/4 sleeves, ruched short sleeves or sleeveless.
Pattern Sizing:
4-16
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
More or less, I made View D and changed the neckline finish.
Were the instructions easy to follow?
I did not use them on this simple tee.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I like the fit, I like the back seam which is contoured and gives some shape at the waist.
Fabric Used:
Cotton and lycra knit.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I made the basic tee right out of the envelope, back, front, sleeves...what's not to love? Instead of the suggested neckband I used the double-layer, raw edged neckband technique that I just learned while making V1315. Here is a close-up. Since that little dress is not for everyone I posted a tutorial on how to make this neckband on my blog.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes and yes. I plan to make several other views from this pattern. Great, basic tops.
Conclusion:
I really like this tee. Wish I magically had a closet full! Here are some other pics:

Great top!! Thank you for the double-layer neckband: I hope to try it soon. And I like your belt, too. Makes a really great combo!

I really like your top. Good to know about the back seam. I think I need this for adjustment purposes. I need to give New Look another try. I had a bad experience a few years ago and have not gone back. That is what PR is for right?

I love your top! Great idea for the raw edged neckband technique from V1315. I'm in the process of making that dress again. I really love that neck edge! It make a simple tee very stylish!
