Pattern Description:

Pattern Sizing: Seven sizes in one 10-22

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes, I believe so.

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I liked the pattern and my only complaints would be trying to get the 1/4" wide cord through the 1/4" wide double fold bias tape called for in the notions section of the pattern envelope. I'm still wondering if I got the wrong size bias tape. I hand sewed the cord in, never ever had to do that before.

Fabric Used: gingham cotton

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: none

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Certainly

Conclusion: It's a more fitted version of a peasant blouse and I dream up every kind of possible type of fabric I could use. It's really a nice pattern and I'm comfortable with the results. It's actually been off the hanger for lots occasions, can't say that for all my "creations".

This looks so much more RTW than most patterns in this style. Maybe the narrow bias that was such a pain was what made the difference. Nice!
