We Know You'll Love These, Too:
Loved this pattern. Made a dress and a top out of super stretchy bamboo jersey. Easy fit and sew. Will definitely keep this pattern for more makes.
This pattern is a basic that can be a 'go to' whenever you need a new anything: a top, a 'throw on' dress, a nightgown, a lounge garment, a maxi. I love it for its simplicity of design, its ease of construction, and its adaptability to many different kinds of fabrics. You can even make it as a gift without worrying about whether or not it will fit the gift recipient. In my opinion this pattern is well worth the price tag.
Fantastic pattern, I made the tunic and love how it turned out. The instructions were clear and easy to follow and the garment turned out perfectly with no modifications required. I especially liked the blog notes which showed how to add long sleeves to the tunic.
Made this in a lovely soft cotton jersey from Dragonfly fabrics.
The pattern was easy to follow and the dress can be “dressed up”” or down. Very pleased
Directions & pattern just fine; just wasn’t the look/style for me!
