No
Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like that it is a simple pattern.
I was very disappointed because I expected the front to be even in the front and not raised a little. I wanted it to look just like the pattern with a full swing. I just measured and it is exactly 4" shorter in the center front than the back.

Looks great ~ maybe you could just tack up the hem straight how you wish it to be, check it on you, before taking to it with the scissors. I know the look you are after, such a pity this pattern is different to the illustration, close, but just not the same ... J
ReplyDeleteI can understand your disappointment Dorothy, but it is still a lovely top - put it away for 24 hours and view it with new eyes - it would be a pity not to wear it :)
ReplyDeleteThe image on the envelope makes it hard to see how the front should hang. I tried looking for line drawings, but can't find them online. Hopefully you will be able to alter the hemline as you suggested.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have been busy. I can hardly keep up (smile). In spite of your disappointment I think that if you give it some time you'll work this one into your active wardrobe!
ReplyDeleteI'm taking everyone's advice and still thinking on it. It is so neat that I almost hate to touch it. It's still a wearable piece, but.....
