Pattern Description: Easy to Sew Collection. Misses' Shirt sewing pattern in two lengths with front collar and sleeve variations.

Pattern Sizing: 6-14

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, and I needed good instructions for all the complicated bits (placket, collar, cuff, etc.).

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like that it gave me some practice with a button-up shirt.

Fabric Used: Cotton flannel shirting from Jo-Ann's. I see from the other reviews that I wasn't the only one using this fabric with this pattern : )

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I didn't make buttonholes on the front. I attempted them on the cuffs (which were not as thick) and my machine fought back. I don't plan on wearing this buttoned-up so it's no big deal.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? It took me a long time to make this shirt. I probably won't make another for a while.

Conclusion: Blogged here with more photos.
