Pattern Description:
5 tops with varying sleeve options.
Gathered at the bust with ribbons.
I made view C, sleeveless option
Pattern Sizing:
Size 3/4 to 13/14
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes, it did.
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes, very simple and straightforward.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
It's a top that is very easy to wear. It is supposed to be a 'junior' pattern, but it suits me just fine.
After wearing this top for about an hour, I noticed that the elastic that goes on the shoulder makes the armhole really small. In the photo I've included with this review, I haven't taken off the elastic yet. I have since gone back to remove the elastic and the top is much more comfortable.
Fabric Used:
Mystery fabric in my stash. I think it's a poly-rayon blend.
I can't wait for someone to walk up to me and tell me their curtain's made of the same fabric :)
Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made:
None, for the photo shown with this review.
I took out later the elastic that is supposed to gather on the shoulders. It's more comfortable to wear that way.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes, I would sew it again - with softer material.
I would recommend it without the elastic gathers on the shoulder, and I would recommend lengthening the top.
Conclusion:
This is a very simple top to make. I recommend it as a wardrobe builder for the spring/summer months.
