Pattern Description: Knit top with faux bolero look.

Pattern Sizing: Misses evens 6-22.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? I'd say so.

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Oy, that was quick! And actually I sewed the sleeves in flat. Hems were done with a twin needle.

Fabric Used: An acrylic knit from the Red Tag bin at Jo-Ann.
I think I bought a 2.5 yd cut with a flaw in it so part of it was remnant priced. I know it was less than $5.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: Grade up a size after waist, lengthen hem.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Totally! It doesn't have a lot of drape in the cowl. I think this fabric doesn't help that, but I still like it.
Limp neckline

Conclusion: Quick and different.
