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?
The instructions were fine until I got to the lining. It confused the crap out of me but that may have been more ME than the instructions.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I didn't like how they wanted you to slip stitch the lining of the sleeves in. Umm NO, they are crazy lol. I ended up putting the right sides of the lining together and sewing the sleeves that way so when I flipped the lining I just pushed the lining down into the sleeve. If that makes sense lol.
Fabric Used:
Flannel Coating from Gorgeous Fabrics
Lining: 100% Poly from Joanns
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
None. I didn't add the button tab in the back.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
YES! I highly recommend this pattern!!! It's a great basic coat pattern. Im not sure if I will make it again though.
Conclusion:
SUPERB Pattern!!! Love it!
