Onion 2017

Pattern Review:

Description:
Tunic style top or dress, tie back, sleeve variations. For a knit fabric only.

Pattern sizing:
XS to XL - I made a Small

Instructions:
Easy to follow with the English version. I bought my Onion patterns on their Website and they mail you the actual pattern. If the pattern is marked English, then the English instructions will be emailed to you in a pdf file. The instructions are easy to follow and very helpful for cutting out and construction.

***NOTE: You do need to add seam allowances and hem allowances.

Likes and dislikes:

Likes first

• the shape - tunic style with out the pregnant look
• neckline - flattering neckline but not too low
• dress option - always nice to have the dress option
• great fitting pattern
• I love Onion's website - they show actual garments with the pattern, great for inspiration and you can see how an actual garment will look.
• I wasn't sure about the cuff on the sleeve but I think this will be nice for work - keep a loose sleeve from getting in my way.

Dislikes:

• none really - maybe another sleeve variation but I can draft that myself. Just thougth I neede some dislike

Fabric:

Knit from Gorgeous Fabric

What did I change?

I added my usual 1" to the bodice. That was about it for changes. My ties is a bit narrower, I just had a scrap of solid black knit.

Will I sew it again?

That would be a big YES! I love this on me and I will probably try the dress - long sleeves and maybe a bit of a bell shape.

Conclusion:

Try Onion patterns if you haven't they are quite nice. This is a great top and I am going to love wearing it.
