Pattern Description:
oth dressy & casual this top is the perfect wardrobe addition.
Semi fitted with button up placket front, and large peter pan collar it also features elbow length sleeves and shaping darts at the bust line. Pattern includes two different placket finishes based on skill level.
Pattern Sizing:
I had a couple of issues with the sizing as the arm scythe was very tight. I would suggest possibly going against your instinct of making this super fitted and start with a bigger size
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
yes it did
Were the instructions easy to follow?
very easy and there are detailed notes on her blog: http://megannielsen.com/pages/tutorials
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I love the versatility of this pattern. i have made short sleeves, long sleeves, with and without collar. such a great wardrobe builder
Fabric Used:
a stretch jersey
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I omitted the collar for this and followed her tutroials for using stretch fabrics: http://blog.megannielsen.com/2012/10/banksia-sewalong-jersey-version/
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I have made 3 tops and 2 dresses out of this now. And yes I am sure I will sew it again!
Conclusion:
great wardrobe builder!! everyone should make one!
