Pattern Name/Number 5729 - women's tunic

Which view and size did you make? Tunic w/ patch pocket and self belt: 12 1/2
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? Using the fold over braid is a classic late sixties/ early seventies touch and the pattern is easy enough for beginners like me!
Fabric used Linen/cotton print from JoAnn's and cotton FOB
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend Didn't make any, but I would make it a tad shorter next time. I would also lower the neckline a tiny bit.
Would you sew this pattern again? Yes
Would you recommend this pattern to others? Yes
Any additional comments Finding FOB is tricky these days. I would turn the hem next time and use piping or bias binding for the contrast.
