Pattern Description:
View B pull-over top has three-quarter length sleeves and V-neckline. Right end of collar is gathered to front, left end of collar loops under right and is stitched to center front seam.
Pattern Sizing:
I made the Large
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Pretty Much
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
The style is pretty. The pattern instructions can be a little confusing in regards to attaching the collar.
Fabric Used:
Lightweight jersey knit, pretty sure it has some bamboo.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
Nope.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I might sew it again. I would need to add a little length to the sleeves and overall. I always forget that I have Monkey Arms compared to the fit model for Kwik Sew patterns. There is something a little "wonky" about the scarf neckline. I don't like the way it lays around the neck. Seems like it may need to be shortened around the top edge to curve around the neck better.
Conclusion:
Pretty top, looks very much like some RTW tops I have in my closet. The one has been in my queue for a long time. Nice to have finally knocked it out. If I find myself with more fabric that would work for this pattern I may give it a second shot.
