Pattern Description:
Misses oversized top with neckline variations. I made view A
Pattern Sizing:
XXS-XXL. I made a small.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Not exactly. Shortening changed the look quite a bit
Were the instructions easy to follow?
The instructions were very easy to follow and it was quick to sew together.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I love that the cowl is cut on the bias.
Fabric Used:
Loose weave wool plaid.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I sized down one size and I shortened the length 4".
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
If I did sew it again I would use a soft knit. The wool is a bit scratchy around my neck.
Conclusion:
Fun, easy project. Read more detail about it on my blog

I love what you have done with this pattern. Really pretty, useful top. At least hope it will be useful at least occasionally for you. Thanks for not linking your top photo to your blog, I much prefer to have the choice about visiting. I did go and have a look and congratulations on powering through your stash.
