Pattern Description: Misses top of various and drapey necklines and hem variants
Pattern Sizing: Misses
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Sure.
Were the instructions easy to follow? Very much so- this only took one episode of Upstairs/Downstairs....cutting to finish.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I'm not thrilled with the lack of facing. I think this fabric would have liked the option. I'm not totally thrilled with my little hem of the back neck
Fabric Used: A stretchy, semi-sheer burnout
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: none!!!
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Is there anyone left to recomend it to?
Conclusion: I look like a giant bordello divan, but hey, this is comfy and I really like the fabric/pattern combination. More velvety-nap pictures?

MNBarb said... Love your blog and very creative writing. You look terrific in this top and what a perfect garment to don for the Thanksgiving meal. I agree that usually a back neckline could use a little facing. Make it again. Divan? No way! 11/24/12 8:46 AM
