Easy to use.

Pattern fit me well

After years of sewing experience, I managed to make this cute top fit my measurements. I am a size small, but chose to cut the pattern for a size 12. Once I cut the materials, I realized that the waist and hip area would be too small, so I used a 5/8" seam for the neck, shoulders, and arm holes, but sewed a 3/8" seam from the arm pit sand below. The darts were too high to fit my bust comfortably. The top is a bit snug, but very flattering.Time to sew:Study pattern directions and cut pattern - 1 hour (I'm a perfectionist.)Sewing the arm and neck facing to the fabric, sewing both to the main front and back bodices - 1 hourLook for seam finishing instructions, which were not including. Seam finishing - 1 hourSew slowly and keep fitting the top to my body shape - another hourTacking the facings to the side seams so that they lay flat - 15 minutesAdding neck button and loop - 15 minutes (I used an elastic loop, the one suggested by the pattern maker would take at minimum 30 minutes to make. I've done it before, and never again.)Don't get me wrong - I love the result, but just know that this pattern takes time to make well.

Very easy pattern, I made the E and is so cute, I love it

As described

After making many masks, I had enough pretty cotton fabric to make some easy sleeveless tops for the hot hot summer we've had. The pattern paper is quite thin and fragile, but that's typical for patterns.

Perfect for sewing simmer tops.

It took longer than expected but I like my new blouse
