Pattern Description:
Easy to Sew Collection. Misses' Shirt sewing pattern in two lengths with front collar and sleeve variations.

Pattern Sizing:
6-14 (I made a 6)

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Sort of...I made View E with the long sleeves from View A

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I made the size 6 which is what my daughter's measurements put her in, but the sleeves ended up a bit too short and the bodice had a little too much ease yet was also short. For reference, my daughter's 5'6".

Fabric Used:
Flannel

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
Did not make any, but should have lengthened bodice and sleeves.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I probably won't try this pattern again. If you are willing to correct the sizing issues and make a muslin, I'd recommend it.

Conclusion:
This is potentially a cute shirt and a good practice shirt for collars, plackets, buttons (all areas which I need to improve). Blogged about here.

	RLL said... How cute. I made this for my DD and also had the rather large bodice. I made fisheye darts in the back for shaping and reducing and she loves it now. Give it a shot. 1/28/13 9:21 AM
