Pattern Description:
Sleeveless top.
Pattern Sizing:
I chose medium.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes, it looks like the photo for the option I chose to make up. View B
Were the instructions easy to follow?
The instructions were super simple to follow.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
Only dislike really was having to hand fold the rolls... knit does not stay put so it was a bit of a tedious job rolling and pinning, however WELL worth it (I was using a walking foot, my rolled hem attachment is for my regular foot)
I like the ease of the pattern. The instructions were clear and concise.
Fabric Used:
Sweater knit, in a waffle style pattern in shades of black, grey, gold and white.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
No alterations or changes were made.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes, in a different color for each day of the week ;)
Conclusion:
I highly recommend this pattern.
Note: I used a walking foot on my regular sewing machine worked like a charm, no stretching. I also added clear elastic to the shoulder seams without stretching, just for stability.
