Pattern Description: This pattern is for a Kappogi, a Japanese "mama-san" apron/coverall
Pattern Sizing: small/medium/large
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes, except for the length of the sleeves
Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I have always loved this style of coverup/apron and, as far as I know, this is the only commercial pattern for it.
Fabric Used:Quilting cottons from various sources
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I lengthened the sleeves about 4 inches.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I highly recommend it and will definitely sew it again!
Conclusion: This is a very practical, attractive way to cover up when cooking (I must be very messy, because those little aprons do me no good!)
