Pattern Description: Misses' Separates-Misses' top, skirt, pants and jacket

Pattern Sizing: 4-16

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Not after the changes I made (shortening & changing sleeves-also made out of a heavy knit which was not a "suggested" fabric)

Were the instructions easy to follow? Easy except for the jacket collar application, which was confusing.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I dislike the instructions for the collar application.

Fabric Used:100% Poly that I got on sale at Hancock Fabrics for a total of $3.71. This was intended just for a muslin, although it turned out well enought to actually wear.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:I shortened the original pattern by 2 inches (should have shortened it by just 1 inch). I made the sleeves 3/4 length and added elastic ruching, like I saw in a RTW jacket.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I might sew it again, if I could figure another way to attach the collar. I would not recommend this jacket pattern for a beginner (due to the confusing collar instructions).

Conclusion: This pattern does not suggest using a knit fabric, but I was trying to copy a RTW jacket I saw at Macy's. It is more tailored than the picture on the pattern envelope shows.

This is really cute! I have this pattern and have been wanting to make it up. I love the idea of making it up in a knit - did you have to do anything to reduce bulk in the collar seams?

It sure turned out well. Looks fun and casual. I like the idea of a knit jacket - sounds comfortable.

Lovely jacket you made and you were reading my mind, I bought this pattern too and my intention was to make it from a knit. Great idea Lori9999 :)

Thanks for the positive comments everyone. It's nice when a pattern works the first time! Quathy, I didn't do anything special with the collar seams - just graded (layered) and off-set them (ie: one seam allowance pressed toward collar and the other pressed toward the jacket. The knit I used is a medium/heavy weight, and there is a bit of bulk, but not bad, or uncomfortable. I did cut a size smaller, as the knit did not need the "ease" like a woven fabric would. Now if I could just figure out a better way to attach the collar ...

So cute! Amazing that your "muslin" turned out so well. The knit and the print works so well. You seem very skilled at getting a good fit too.
