Pattern Description: ok

Pattern Sizing:ok

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?no The designer needs to think out the steps and give better descriptions. there was a blog following her assembly. I have been sewing for a long time but still needed to view the process which I didn't really want to do.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?very flattering as a finished jacket

Fabric Used:I used a denim with a silvery laminate It was a stiff fabric

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I made the collar without the hood and after seeing how high the collar was I changed it to 1/2 as high. Still a high collar really

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?I might but would use a softer fabric and make my own plan for the steps involved. The directions seemed too complicated for the simple jacket

Conclusion: Looks great on and the wearer gets compliments whenever she wears it. Sorry I did not get a picture before I gave it to my daughter.
