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?
Very easy.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I didn't like that you had to stretch the facing to fit. Next time I
make it, I will make the facing longer and not stretch it like the
directions say. It made it ripple in the front and I don't like that.
Fabric Used:
Ponte Roma Knit from Hancock
Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made:
None
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I WILL make this again!!! I highly recommend the pattern.
Conclusion:
This is a great pattern! I needed some new loungewear for a trip (great
for airports) and it will be great when the weather cools off here and
I need more coverage for my morning walks.
OOPS! LOL didn't realize my necklace was over my collar like that lol. I'll have to update this with a different picture later on lol.
That's it for today lol. I have four more reviews to type up and one WIP lol. I have had no mojo to blog about my sewing projects lol
Toodles!!!
Cute! Perfect fit!
I think they have you stretch it so that it will be forced to sit higher and not just hang straight down. It looks good regardless. :)

That suit does look great on you. It's very interesting how they had you do the facing. I think that would bug me also.

For a woman with no mojo, that is a beautiful set. AND your necklace looks just fine. Did you make it also?

SUPER cute!!! Love it!

This looks really nice - I love these outfits and every one Ive ever purchased always shrinks up to around my ankles!
Question: did you purchase ribbing fabric for the cuffs and bottom or use the same fabric? I have the pattern and it calls for "ribbing", but Id rather just use self-fabric.
Thanks in Advance...

Thanks for the tips on the suit - I finally posted a picture on my blog.
Happy New Year and Happy Sewing~
