Pattern Description:

Just 4 Knits (Misses Tops)

Pattern Sizing:

US 4-16, I cut a 16

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

Yes!

Were the instructions easy to follow?

Yes. I am confused about facings though...which I think is a personal issue.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?

I really like the way it came out. Though there is too much ease, like most commercial patterns.

Fabric Used:

Black poly knit

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:

I cut version D in a size 16 (it only has one sleeve right now). The fit was looser than I'd like but the sleeve is too tight. I think it's going to become a sleeveless shell.

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

YES! I will be making this again. It'll make nice spring tops and good layering pieces for MN winters. I have to find some nice printed knits as well. I would recommend it to others, especially beginners. It's quick and simple and there's nothing like near instant gratification.

Versions D and E have two pieces for the back, one front piece and the sleeves. Very simple to sew up.

Conclusion:

Easy to sew, highly gratifying and a cute little top.
