Pattern Description: This is a great style of top that will quickly become a staple in your wardrobe and is very EASY to sew! One pattern offers many design options including:
-3 differient collars offer 4 different looks
-Sleeve options include short, three quarter, or long sleeve
-2 ruching options for the body
Pattern Sizing: XXS-XL (I made the XS)
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes, except for a design change with the side ruching.
Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes. The instructions are in a spiral-bound booklet. The pattern is very well explained.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? My first "like" is the fit. I also like how you can customize this top so easily. No dislikes.
Fabric Used: Cotton-lycra jersey from my stash.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: The pattern has you sew ruching up the sides of the top. I chose to only apply the ruching to the bottom 8" of the top to mimic a RTW top I have.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I will most definitely sew this one again and again. I would recommend this pattern to others.
Conclusion: I am very pleased with my top and the way it fits. There are so many design possibilities for this pattern that I know I'll be making a bunch more. The pattern description sums it up: This is a great style of top that will quickly become a staple in your wardrobe and is very EASY to sew!
