Vogue 8821 & McCall’s 6611…A Review
This is my take on the neon trend.
Pattern Sizing: 8-16
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
For the most part.
Were the instructions easy to follow?I didn't really use them.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Love this pattern.
Fabric Used: Neon green challis.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: Instead of having two pieces to make up the front of the top, I taped it together and made the front one piece. I didn't like the original lines on the shirt.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I MIGHT make this again with sleeves. I really love it. I highly recommend this if you like this style.
Conclusion: Great easy pattern.
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? VERY easy. I got confused when it was time to attach the peplum but it was MY fault, not the instructions.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? This is VERY on trend. Loved it.
Fabric Used: Cotton/Sateen/Lycra
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I shortened the sleeves to 3/4 length. This has become my go to instead of grabbing a cardigan.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I am going to make this again in a darker color for the fall. I plan on lengthening the peplum.
Conclusion: LOVE this jacket!!! Great addition to any wardrobe.
