Pattern Description: Misses tops with sleeve & neckline variations

Pattern Sizing: 8 to 18

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? yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? a good basic top pattern. love the gathered neck detail with puff sleeve.

Fabric Used: satin

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I eliminated the back neck opening as it wasn't needed. I hand sewed the neck & sleeve binding on this one instead of my usual topstitched finish.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? This is my 4th top so far from this pattern & 3rd in this style (view E), so I'm sure there will be more. I made this one to wear to work.
I would definitely recommend this pattern as it is easy to sew & looks good.

Conclusion: a great pattern for a simple top that looks great.

Really like your top-will have to get this pattern for sure. I think it would be perfect for the daughter I need to sew something for.

What a great basic pattern for showcasing a nice fabric. I've overlooked this one countless times, but you may have convinced me to pick up a copy!
