Pattern Description:
MISSES PONCHOS, VEST, SCARF, HEAD BAND AND BAG ..... HEAD BAND IN THREE SIZES

I made poncho A
Pattern Sizing:
XS-XL
I cut a large.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Exactly like it

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Very easy

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I like that it had an asymmetrical shape and was long and full enough to go over my hips.

Fabric Used:
Sweater knit (I think)

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
none

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I wouldn't sew it again. It's type of piece where one is enough.

Conclusion:
Easy to make. Perfect first project.

Beginners, here are the skills you'll learn (Poncho A):
-Narrow hem
-Stretch seams (if you use a knit)
