Did it look like the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? For the most part, it does.

Fabric: A sweater knit I've been stashing for a couple of years.  Not sure of the fabric content, but I think it would do fairly well in a washing machine.

Were the instructions easy to follow? The instructions were exceptionally easy.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I think this is a really cute and "of-the-moment" style that I've been seeing everywhere... from the high-end designers to the junior retailers and everything in between.

Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: I added 1" to the length.

Conclusion: This is a great "trendy" pattern. All of the versions seem as if they could be sewn up in a couple of hours. I'm not going to sew this one again -- it's really trendy. But I do recommend it.
