Pattern Description: Knit top, pants, and skirt. I made the top with 3/4 length sleeve.

Pattern Sizing:6-12.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?Yes, for the most part.

Were the instructions easy to follow?There is absolutely nothing to making this top! Instructions are fine, but you really don't need them.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?This was a super easy, fast pattern.

Fabric Used:A black and red knit from stash.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:I simply hemmed the sleeves and bottom with my coverstitch rather than band those areas. I also added a couple of inches to the length.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?I'll probably make this up again just because it is so fast. Lining up the stripes took longer than sewing it.

Conclusion: A great top, perfect for beginners.

Looks great! How is the width of the neckline? Is it very wide? Did you have to narrow it at all?

I didn't alter the neckline, though it might be wide for some. I wanted it to look a little slouchy.

I love this - great fit and the stripes are wonderful! I'm kicking myself for not seeing this pattern but then I think I have a Burda that is similar I wanted to try, better go to the stash or find this! = ) Great top!
