SP 12 and Pattern Review....

I am SO behind on my SP questions...so I'm going to start with those lol.

As a kid, what did you look forward to most about summer vacation/break/holiday?
I was a navy brat, so my favorite part of summer was my dad coming home from his tours!!

What would you consider the perfect amount of stash?
This is a hard one. I think my stash is perfect lol. I only have what I have purchased for projects...even if they aren't complete lol.

1) What yarn (that you don’t have/haven’t used) would make your stash “complete”?
This one I really don't know. I've knit with a few yarns that I really like but I haven't been knitting long enough to know what would make my stash complete lol.

2) What yarn do you never want to be without?
This one is easy...BROWN SHEEP COTTON FLEECE!!! LOL It is the most perfect yarn! Robin got me hooked on it a while back lol. I think I have some red in my stash and I need to use it up! LOL

Simplicity 4224 View B

Pattern Description:
Misses & Miss Petite Dress with Tie Belt and Shrug Jacket

Pattern Sizing:
14-22

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?
The instructions were very easy to follow.

What did you particularly like  or dislike about the pattern?
I loved this pattern.

Fabric Used:
Stretch poplin from Hancock.

Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made:
The only thing I did differently was to add boning to the bodice. It made a WORLD of difference. I was kinda scared to do it but it wasn't hard at all.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I doubt if I will sew this style again, but I highly recommend it.

Conclusion:
Great summer dress!!

That is all for me! Hope you enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

Toodles!
