Pattern Description: Misses loose-fitting knit top with different sleeve variations and neckline variations
Pattern Sizing: Size 6-16 I made View B in a size 10
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like there are few pieces, easy and quick to sew; I didn't like the wide neck
Fabric Used: A soft, slinky two way stretch jersey knit
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I had sew a gray one and the neckline was so wide that it kept falling off my shoulders. I changed the neckline a little. The first one was so wide. Click Here
Here is the front Click Here
I also found that unless the fabric is a two way stretch fabric that the way they have you cut the waistband, it will not stretch. Since this fabric had a lot of stretch, I had no problem.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I will probably make View A for this summer; I highly recommend this pattern.
Conclusion: I can see why so many people made this. I love this top!

edit...I don't mind it slipping off my shoulders either but way down to me elbow is a bit much :) Still trying to come up with a creative solution. 2/15/13 1:26 AM
