Which view and size did you make? apron, 14
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes
If not, why? -
Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes
If not, why? -
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Likes: I like the the full front coverage and the detail of the contrasting panel. I like that it has a waist at the natural waist and roomy pockets.
Would change: as you may be able to see in the 2nd picture (gotta love taking pictures of your own back-end), it gapes a little in the back. This may be b/c I'm not big chested. I'll have to sew down this little bit soon to make the fit better. I'm also thinking I'd prefer the skirt to be slightly gathered. This is a very trim fitting skirt and not the best for moving around the house. I think maybe a band at the waist would be nice too.
Sizing - fairly accurate. I cut 1 size smaller than I'd probably buy in RTW for an apron and I didn't exactly follow their seam allowances perfectly.
Fabric used 100% quilters cotton
