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? I found them really good, lots of coloured pics and easy to understand instructions
Fabric Used: A lightweight thin rayon knit
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I added sleeves from my Macaron dress but other than that - no alterations! I usually have to make a FBA but this top didn't need it.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes I will, I'd like a sleeveless one and a shorter sleeve version.
Conclusion: This is the first time I've sewn with a Maria Denmark pattern, it was quick to download and easy to print out, it prints in a lighter grey ink so it doesn't use tons of printer ink.
I used the clear elastic method to finish the back neckline which was easier than I thought and the rest was sewn with my serger, its a really quick sew!
I have some more pics on my blog
Your top is great and that colour is fantastic on you! Love it!

Very nice. I like how you've added sleeves. It makes the pattern much more versatile.
