Pattern Description:
Blouse with pin tucks and buttons up the front. Pattern pieces for variation with sleeves, without the pin tucks, and with peter pan collar.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? yep

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes. Craftsy has videos with step by step sections that are extremely easy to follow. The directions are clear and a learned a great deal from Christine Haynes.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I really like the pin tucks. I'd like to try it with sleeves. The only complaint I have is I wish there were written instructions to go with the videos because the next time through I still needed some guidance, but I didn't want to watch all the way through again to remember the next steps.

Fabric Used: 100% lightweight shirting cotton

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yep. I've made it twice more, with quilting cotton and they both turned out great.
