The swimsuit coverup is complete, and I'm very pleased with the results. I will also be posting my first review on pattern review. I've been a member for several months now, but haven't posted a review. This will be my first review.
Pattern Review
Loose fitting, unlined Jacket. I made this as a swimsuit cover up.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes, but surprised the instructions did not include stay stitching the neckline to prevent stretching.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
Easy Pattern, nice for knits and wovens.
Fabric Used: Multi-coloured lightweight woven slightly sheer batiste like fabric
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
No design changes were made.
Small change made to the construction of the ties. Because the fabric I used frayed quite easily, folding under the edge was difficult. Decided to knot the end instead.
Also stay stitched the neckline and hems to prevent stretching and distortion
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes
Conclusion: Would Recommend this pattern.
On another note; here's the results of a Christmas Eve project I worked on. A 3D puzzle, how cool is that!

Project Update, Fabric Giveaway and Pattern Giveaway
Happy Happy Happy, not quite new year....
I'm procrastinating packing up the Christmas decorations for another year, so instead of making it a major project I decided to do a little each day with the goal of having it all packed up by January 1st.
I'm making progress on my beach coverup. Although it's a simple project that could have been sewn up in one afternoon, I'm doing that in bits and pieces too.
Tis the season for giveaways and Retro Mummy has a fantastic fabric giveaway, be sure to check it out. Also, don't forget you still have a few days left to enter my Vogue Pattern Giveaway
