Pattern Description:
Misse top with pleated and gathered neckline, sleeve and collar variants
Pattern Sizing: Misses- I think it ran pretty true to size

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Oh, sure, I'm a pro! heehee

Were the instructions easy to follow? very much so.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Its an easy basic shape- good for all seasons

Fabric Used: I stash-busted and finished off a piece I'd used last year for a Vogue dress

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I lengthened the sleeves about 2 inches, that changed the width of the tuck a bit

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? sure, it's fast, comfy and works with alot of pieces

Conclusion: I always need more tops and I will probably hit this one again!

Very cute! Another great pattern done up with an less than appealing envelope. :)
