Felt like a proper sewist for the first time

I have made a few easy projects before but they never looked quite right. This top came out neatly and I was not embarrassed to wear it. That confidence shift matters more than the actual garment honestly.

N
Nicolette T.
Elastic tension took a bit of trial and error

I cut my elastic the length specified and found the neckline was a little tighter than I preferred. On my second version I added 2 cm more elastic and it sits exactly how I wanted. The instructions could mention that personal preference varies for elastic tension.

S
Sinead T.
Far prettier than what you find in fast fashion

I looked at cottagecore tops in shops before buying this pattern and the shop versions were thin and badly finished. My handmade version in cotton lawn is a completely different quality. The seams are clean and the fabric is far nicer.

E
Erin J.
Gained confidence with elastic casings

I always avoided elastic casing necklines because I never understood how to do them neatly. The instructions here are very specific about the seam allowance to fold and how to keep the casing even. My neckline came out flat and even which felt like a real win.

Simone P.
Second version in a stripe and it still works

My first was a floral, my second is a thin vertical stripe cotton. The stripe version looks more graphic and less sweet but the pattern shape carries it. I am going to make a third in a solid colour linen for a change.
