Pattern Description:
Blouse with bat wing sleeves, button-up with gathering in front and back.
Pattern Sizing:

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
It did, except I wasn't really fond of the Bat wing look. So, I cut some fabric out and modified it, to give it a bit more sleeve and a closer fit.

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Very easy.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I like a blouse with a yoke. I like to add different fabric in the yoke.

Fabric Used:
A light cotton print and a solid lace.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I took out some of the fullness, I just didn't like it so full. I also altered the sleeves to give it more of a normal short sleeve.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
This is View A. I have actually already cut out my next one. I'm doing View D and using different fabric.
Conclusion:
Once I altered it, I like it a lot. The picture shows it with a sports bra. I won't be wearing that when I wear it out, I have a small camisole that will be much better for it.

	Leslie Bonner said... Really nice top. While I had purchased this pattern I had wondered about the fullness. After seeing how nice yours turned out I know that I can safely remove some fullness while keeping the styling. Like your use of lace and fabric combo. 2/28/13 9:09 AM
