Simplicity 1694--- The Bright Green Sleeveless Asymetrical Top

I can't believe I started this cute little asymmetrical top on last Summer. Well needless to say it's completion was overdue. I finished it in just enough time to wear it on our family vacation. We took a short trip to visit family in Columbia, SC and while there ventured off to the Riverbanks Zoo and the Edventures Children's museum. Well this top definitely wore comfortably with all of the sightseeing and moving around. The review and photos are below....

Simplicity 1694

Time to Sew:

Sewing Ease (scale 1 easy to 10 difficult):

About a 3, not too complicated.

Pattern Description:

Loose fitting top with assymetrical hem.

Pattern Sizing:

I made up the small. 

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?

Yup, pretty much!

Were the instructions easy to follow?

Yes. The collar is what had me confused last year so in a haste I moved on to another project. I checked out the directions and stared at them a bit longer and it all made sense. 

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?

I liked the free-flowing style

Fabric Used:

A bright green gauzy type fabric. It was very lightweight and a bit sheer.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:

I omitted the pockets

What would you do differently next time?:Nothing. I really like it.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?

Yes and Yes!

(The Koala was actually awake and eating!!!. At every zoo I've ever visited they've always been sleep. Well they do sleep 16-20 hours a day so I guess I just came at the right time LOL!!!)

 (At the Edventures children's museum---boy that's a big kid!!!

(I'm such an obsessed sewer. Why did I check to see if the inseam stitches on the jeans were even? It's not even fabric but plastic. Sigh. I just can't help myself LOL!)

Wardrobe Versatility:

Cute with pants, short, capris and even a fitted skirt.

Conclusion:

Nice pattern. Went together well and makes a great wardrobe addition!
