Pattern Description: jersey top

Pattern Sizing: any measurement add our own.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes, except for some changes, see my blog at http://sewingforfun.wordpress.com/2013/02/08/lekala-5811/

Were the instructions easy to follow? The instructions are not the greatest, but the tecnical drawing can be seen at http://leko-mail.net/mod-e.php?t=0&a=32

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Love the shape

Fabric Used:bambo and rayon knit

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: see my blog at http://sewingforfun.wordpress.com/2013/02/08/lekala-5811/

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?Yes

Conclusion: Nice top.

Your blog says you made a "mistake" but we prefer to call such events "design decisions." Nice recovery. This top is great!
