Pattern Description: Fitted knit top with sleeve and neckline variations. I made the version A

Pattern Sizing: 0-16, I made the 16

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? exactly

Were the instructions easy to follow? easy

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I have now made 2 of these, they are beautifully drafted and fit very well.

Fabric Used: Lightweight sweater knit from Joann's.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I made no changes, I wouldn't change a thing.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Absolutely would recommend it.

Conclusion: I'd read many reviews of this pattern before taking the plunge. The banded bottom and cuffs, and the neckline binding make the top look very neat even without a serger. I'll be using this pattern a lot, no more $6 t-shirts from Walmart.
