This was one of my very first projects and it turned out great! I had a hard time making the straps so small, but I made thicker straps and I think they look great! I didn't realize that this shirt was going to be lined so I had only gotten 1/2 of the material that I needed. Luckily, I was planning on making two of these, so I just put both of the shirts I was planning to make together and made it a reversible top. So cute! Planning on making more soon.
Love this pattern so much, I've already made 3 since purchasing! My husband also loves how it looks on me too. One IMPORTANT thing I'll note... the printed instructions are very vague. If your skills are anywhere from beginner-intermediate, definitely watch the YouTube video for instructions. Without that, this wouldn't have been rated so highly.
Great pattern. This was my first time doing the burrito method, which confused me for 10 minutes but I figured it out. This pattern is good for when you need an ego boost. Quick results.
This was a nice and simple sew! I would definitely recommend using fabrics that are on the THIN side - I was repurposing an old dress and made a great tank out of it but it was just a little too thick and warm especially considering that it is fully lined. so just keep that in mind!
I really wanted to like it because it’s so similar to a Bec and bridge dress and I wanted to use it for that. But it just doesn’t work for all sizes, if you have boobs you NEED darts even for stretch fabric. It puckers at the armpits and I should have known. I wasted quite a bit of expensive fabric because of this. I’m very disappointed

I love watching your channel and all of your patterns! So easy to follow and well designed. I made a long dress version from lightweight viscose jersey and get so many compliments.
I really like this pattern! It’s a good beginner pattern with the video instructions
great pattern! Looking forward to making this.
Top turned out great! 👍
great pattern, easy to follow video instructions! i made some minor adjustments for a petite size and sized down from the sizing chart because i was using a very stretchy knit and it came out great!
Easiest clothing pattern I’ve ever used. The burrito method took 20 mins to conceptually figure out but genuinely fairly easy. I have a bigger bust so it kinda sagged on the top, and wasn’t the flat, straight line I had wanted, even after interfacing the fabric. But also super cute and PERFECT for ANY level.

I have medium stretch fabric. I am a 5'1, XL curvy women and decided to make this a Large. It is still fits lose in the top chest and the fit it is not the best; like to neck hangs instead of being fitted. I tried to modify the the pattern in for 4th try and I feel like I just wasted good fabric.
Simple easy instructions, had to adjust the fit for my narrow shoulders.
such a cute top!! i’m obsessed with making them! they’re so easy and fun :D

This was my first sewing project, and while the final product was not the prettiest (due to me learning how to sew in a straight line and not being too successful lol), the detailed instructions definitely taught me a lot about basic sewing techniques. Thank you for including a video, that makes it so much more informative! Would recommend for beginners.

Great pattern that I was able to make without any bigger problems!
JFC I love this pattern. I've made four tops so far. I did lengthen the hem because I don't want my stomach showing, and I lengthened the straps by 1/2 on one version literally just to make it easier to turn them right side out. I ADORE this pattern. I'm literally wearing one right now.
