I'm always looking for ways to jazz up the wardrobe. But at the same time keeping it classic. This next review is on a fall/winter accessories or cover up pattern. This has been in the collection for a while. But is not outdated or dull.
This poncho is great for keeping the chill off your arms in those air conditioned theaters and restaurants. It's also perfect for fall like evenings that we sometimes get in the summertime.

The view that drew me to this pattern is the one I'm reviewing today.
Pattern Description: Misses' ponchos, vest, scarf, head band and bag.
Pattern Sizing: XS to XL, I made large. I made view A.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes, it did.
Were the instructions easy to follow? You really don't them. But, yes they were easy to follow. This is one of the one hour patterns. It didn't take me an hour to make the poncho.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like the simplicity of it. I may make up the scarf, vest and head band for myself and for gifts. No dislikes.
Fabric Used: Knit from Walmart and a stable knit from Vogue. Both have been is the stash for a while.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: Instead a sewing a small hem, I serged the edges.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I've already made two ponchos. I will sew a few of the other views. Yes, I recommend it if you have this pattern in your collection. It's easy.
Conclusion: This is an easy pattern that a beginner could sew with no problems.

These are really lovely. Brilliant idea! And your choice of fabrics is just perfect.
ReplyDeletePonchos are versatile garments, very easy to make and depending on the type of fabric you use, ponchos can be worn all year long. That reminds I need to add ponchos to my veryyyyyy longgggg list of items to sewwwww
