Pattern Description:
Tunic style stress with pockets and V-neck back.

Pattern Sizing:

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

Yes, generally

Were the instructions easy to follow?

I didn't use the directions. But, they seemed to be good.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?

I like that the interest is in the the back. Of course, someone at the office said I should have made the V in the front. Everyone's a critic.

Fabric Used:

Purple wool from my stash

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:

I decided to bind the edges instead of using the facing. I also omitted the ties.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?

The skirt is very short. So much so that I wear it as a tunic with tights. It also needs an FBA, which I chose not to make. I also skipped the pockets for simplicity's sake.

I would sew it again. It's a great easy look.

Conclusion:

Few more photos and musings on my blog Miss Celie's Pants
