Simplicity 2696



Pattern Description:
Pullover tunics with front and sleeve variations

Pattern Sizing:
14-22. I cut a 14.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes, although I made it sleeveless

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes!

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
The collar was a little tricky. It took me a while to figure it out.

Fabric Used:
I used a rayon/poly woven fabric. It frays easily so I used pinking shears to prevent a mess.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I made this top sleeveless and used bias tape. I also made this a little bigger than my size because I wore it while I was pregnant. I have been wearing since giving birth, and just tuck it in or wear a belt.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I would sew it again, but I would try a different fabric.

Conclusion:
I love how I can dress this top up or down. I've worn it to work under a suit, and with jeans a belt.
