This is my first pullover/tunic. For this pattern I made view D in a size 20. The fabric is a cotton batik for both the main fabric and the contrast fabric. Overall I am very pleased with the results. The pattern directions were easy to follow given the fact that I had other sewing books that gave directions to such things as gathering. I only have two concerns with the finished tunic. First, because I do not yet know how to alter a pattern to get a good fit the neckline gaps a bit in the front and the back. My breast size is larger than my shoulder size. Not knowing what to do I choose the size appropriate for my breast which made the neckline gap both in the front and the back. However, it is not so bad that I wouldn't be comfortable wearing the tunic in public. Second, I wish I had used the main fabric for the entire tunic instead of including a contrast fabric. I would like to try this pattern again with a fabric with more drape to see how it alters the fit.

Tall Mary	11/7/09	It looks so pretty on you. Good job on your first pullover. It is always good to make the same pattern a few times if you liked the first garment because you will know some of the tweaking that you need to make on additional garments.
