Pattern Review:
Description:
Tunic style top or dress, tie back, sleeve variations. For a knit fabric only.
Pattern sizing:
XS to XL - I made a Small
Instructions:
Easy to follow with the English version. I bought my Onion patterns on their Website and they mail you the actual pattern. If the pattern is marked English, then the English instructions will be emailed to you in a pdf file. The instructions are easy to follow and very helpful for cutting out and construction.
***NOTE: You do need to add seam allowances and hem allowances.
Likes and dislikes:
Likes first
- the shape - tunic style with out the pregnant look
- neckline - flattering neckline but not too low
- dress option - always nice to have the dress option
- great fitting pattern
- I love Onion's website - they show actual garments with the pattern, great for inspiration and you can see how an actual garment will look.
- I wasn't sure about the cuff on the sleeve but I think this will be nice for work - keep a loose sleeve from getting in my way.
Dislikes:
- none really - maybe another sleeve variation but I can draft that myself. Just thougth I neede some dislike
Fabric:
Knit from Gorgeous Fabric
What did I change?
I added my usual 1" to the bodice. That was about it for changes. My ties is a bit narrower, I just had a scrap of solid black knit.
Will I sew it again?
That would be a big YES! I love this on me and I will probably try the dress - long sleeves and maybe a bit of a bell shape.
Conclusion:
Try Onion patterns if you haven't they are quite nice. This is a great top and I am going to love wearing it.
Oh wow Lori. I love this one!!!

ReplyDeleteI love this top, very nice! I need to start sewing for myself a little I think. First thing, though, I need to pick up my sewing machine from being serviced!
