(3 out of 5 stars)
The cut is okay, but compared to other patterns on this site I was not too happy as the pattern itself misses some comforts (probably due to the fact that the seller takes it off a magazine).
What I didn´t like:
- It is like typical magazine patterns - layering the pieces over each other so you have to print pages several times following a list (yes its doable, but takes time and is not as comfortable as just printing everything once)
- The instruction is very short and without pictures, not being a native speaker and somewhat at the beginning it took some thinking (to be frank I dont think it justifies the + TUTORIAL in the title... 129 words and no pictures)
- the square to check if your print size is ok is somewher in the tutorial not on the pattern (I found it by accident after cutting my pattern on good luck)
- I dont like patterns without seam allowance (maybe it´s my beginners view, but if your pattern has a recommended allowance shouldn´t most of the people want to work with that? And also how difficult is it on a digital pattern to just provide both?
Whats good:
+ The shirt looks good
+ The pattern itself is easy so one can figure it out
I personally will in the future buy from other sellers if I have the choice, my time is precious and I guess with easier explanation seam allowances etc I would save 1-2 h of preparation work.
