I'm a total beginner and the project was perfect to start with. Honestly, it gives you self-confidence for the future and makes you want to continue! Thanks to Udosew team for these great patterns!
This pattern was so easy to read and make! I love love love that you can hide the size lines to print only the size you need, and super appreciate when a pattern has this as an option.
firstly, the this store was helpful when I had print issues. The patterns print nicely so you don’t have to cut each page, they print along the top left edge. The designs are cute, but there are issues. All my patterns required a surger to finish the edges, which is not mentioned in the listings. I tried to just French seam or line the projects, but this results in a couple issues—the amount of fabric you will need is very inaccurate, and as a novice sewist I have no idea what order best to put linings and front fabrics together It was extremely frustrating. At one point I had to pitch an entire project do to a mistake in ordering. These are marketed as for novice, there are no notches or other information onthe patterns to make sure it lines up. Overall I wasted some fabric and a whole lot of time and energy trying to figure it out
This is just not a well made pattern. The sizing is big and the darts are too big (I'm a pretty standard size small, with 34C bra size and the size small in this pattern was at least a size too big, which makes the darts look awkward), I wouldn't mind so much, but the side seam measurements are .75" off. That's too much error for a professional pattern.
I haven't made this yet, but I love the look of this top. After a read through the instructions are easy to follow and love the layered PDF printing options.
