Pattern Description: MISSES' TOP: Slightly fitted through bust, stitched hems. A,B: self faced collar. C: loose fitting, shaped front panel with pocket, raw edge finish. D: draped front neckline, shaped hem.

Pattern Sizing: Y(XSmall-Small-Medium), ZZ(Large-XLarge-XXLarge)

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? Definitely

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I would say that this pattern runs slightly big. I am actually pretty happy about it because I was able to sew it right out of the envelope but if you have a normal sized bust, you might want to adjust in the bust area.

Fabric Used: A metallic sweater knit that was a BEAST on my sewing machine.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: N/a

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I have an idea for another of the views on the pattern.

Conclusion: Super easy, great options

Buy this pattern for $13.46  List Price: $17.95   Add to Bag Add to Bag

Your tunic is just lovely. I'm sure you will get a lot of use from it. I have this pattern as well - it's great to see it made up.
