I bought this pattern because many reviews said the instructions were so easy to understand there were a couple of parts that took me a little while to figure out but once I did it made sense. I was so nervous about the sleeve placket but it ended up being kinda fun. I wanted a looser fit so I sized up and did not add any darts and it fits exactly how I wanted, the second shirt (yellow) I whipped up in about 1/2 the time. I am so excited to make more, the possibilities are endless I love how you can mix and play with pattern, the pockets, yokes, collar. This was my first successful garment that I made with a pattern that is actually wearable yay! Oh yeah first time making my own piping, such a fun detail!
