Pattern Description:
Pull-over tops have dolman sleeves and scoop neckline finished with self fabric binding, and sleeves and bottom edge are hemmed. View A has shoulder openings finished with narrow hems.
Pattern Sizing:
xs to xl. I made the Small, I'm usually a size 12 or medium, but I followed the pattern's measurement recommendations.
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 very clear and straight forward, with alternatives depending on the type of machine (regular or overlocker) and type of stitch you want to use.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I liked that there were only 3 pattern pieces due to the dolman sleeves and the lovely shape to the top.
Fabric Used:
A thrifted aqua knit.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I didn't make any changes.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes, I'm already planning my next one with normal sleeves (view b).
Conclusion:
A very easy to sew pattern that results in a feminine and flattering top. I'm really happy with the results.
I blogged about this great top here.
