Pattern Description:

Misses' top in two lengths, mini skirt and shorts, Cynthia Rowley Collection.

Pattern Sizing:

14-18, I cut a 14

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

Pretty much

Were the instructions easy to follow?

The facing and waistband were a little wonky but not incomprehensible

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?

I like the (boat?) neck and how comfy it fits

Fabric Used:

Sweatshirt fleece

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:

I ended up just doing the waist band "normally". I got a little confused on the instructions

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?

Yes and Yes. My daughter wants one.

Conclusion:

I could definitely see making a couple more of these sweatshirts. It comes together really quickly.

That's really nice looking. It's the perfect boat neckline.

The mistakes you mentioned do not show and I like the fit. Very attractive sports top on you. Have you considered making the shorts?

Thank you all for the kind words! Ashford, I thought about it but am scared they'll make me look hippy! Not in a good 70's kinda way either! ;-) I might go for it though. The beauty of being a beginner is; it's ALL an adventure!
