Pattern Description:
LOW cut bloomers
Pattern Sizing:
XS - SL
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Without the ribbons - vaguely
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Did not need them - but they look clear
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
Like - fast and double row of elastic at the top seems like a good idea which I might use for other patterns
Dislike - too low and too much fabric over my front....
Fabric Used:
cotton poplin
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I only turned the waist 1" and put in only one line of elastic - would need to add at least 4" to the height to be able to turn such a deep waist hem... see tutorial on this blog ... if I had seen that blog earlier I might have tried the ideas out....
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
No I will not sew it again, but that is because the pattern and I do not suit- I would recommend it to others...young, slimmer others....
Conclusion:

Fast pattern - got it out of my stash - been downloaded printed and sat in a drawer waiting for ages, so I am glad I whipped it up (in an evening). If I had spent more time on it and made some of the recommended changes I would probably like them more... but I don't think I will try this pattern again.
