Pattern Description: very loose-fitting pullover top

Pattern Sizing: I made a 16, but should have made a 12

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? Very

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I felt like trying something new

Fabric Used: Sweater knit

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: This pattern runs really, really big, and I took it in on the sides a lot. Next time I will start with a much smaller size. I will also bring the arm holes up.

This is an edit to this review: I was unhappy with how low the armholes were on this tunic so I took it apart and recut the front & back neck edges 4 inches lower.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? yes and yes, with changes.

Conclusion: Original version: Room for Sewing

New & improved version: Room for Sewing

I can't see the pic link but the fabric looks charming in the thumbnail.

Your tunic is very pretty. I've seen this made up several times and they all look so nice. I just ordered the pattern from the current BMV sale. Can't wait to give it a try. Hope my turns out as nice.
