Pattern Description:
Shirt or jacket has diagonal side seams angled to the front, soft stand-up collar, and set-in sleeves with vent openings. Asymmetric front and back deep hems with mitered corners. Front topstitching detail and five-button closure.
Pattern Sizing: Misses XS - XXL

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

Were the instructions easy to follow? yes. SW patterns have excellent instructions on mitered corners. the instructions are always great

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? the seams, and that this can be worn as a top or a jacket

Fabric Used: I found this interesting cotton silk? at a recent quilt show. I liked the colors and the different patterns. To break up the stripes which I thought were a bit too sever, I silk screened in a gold jacquard paint some floral and Japanese designs.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: didn't make any changes. I've made this top before and really like the lines and seams.

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

Conclusion: this pattern is great for this fabric.. both fun and different. More views

Good to see a review from you! I saw your name/photo? in Threads magazine (forget why now). I am taking a sewing silks class with Linda Lee at Craftsy and this is the pattern we are using. Very nice top you have created.

Ohhhh, I think the silk screening is lovely. I like the effect on the top. Had you ever done Silk Screening before? I am taking the craftsy class, but have other necessary projects to complete first. But your top is an inspiration.

What a fabulous version of this great pattern. I really love your choice of fabric, as well as the embellishments. Those extra touches really *make* this shirt/jacket.

This is such a beautiful jacket. The fabric and your additional silk screening are perfect together.

Your creativity in silk screening over the stripe is really inspiring and beautiful. Thanks! Would love to see the garment on you. I've been thinking of taking the class with Linda and you just tipped the scale.
