Pattern Description:
A co-ordinates pattern with a knit cardigan, two tops, pants and a skirt.
I made the short sleeved top.
Pattern Sizing:
From 10 to 22 (US)
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
If you look hard. I made a few changes!

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Very. This top is about as simple as it gets - a two piece back, a single piece front and 2 sleeves. Too easy!
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I keep coming back to this pattern because it has a centre back seam - great for getting a bit of extra shaping when your upper and lower torso are sizes apart!
Also, the versatility of it.
Fabric Used:
A latte coloured viscose knit, and some cotton lace as an insert at the front, back, and top of the sleeve cap. I was working from a picture of a similar top I pinned on pinterest.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
Besides drafting the 'yoke', I didn't really change this pattern at all. You don't need too!
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
This is my second attempt at this top, and I'm still wanting to try the cardigan out. This won't be my last knit tee with a lace insert, for sure! I would highly recommend it.
Conclusion:
I'm totally in love with this tee - it takes something simple to a slightly fancier level  |
