This pattern was so easy to make and it came out so good! It’s also easy to alter to your liking. I changed it up a bit and chopped off the bottom so it’s just a shirt. The sizing guide is actuate as well. I always have to make sizing alterations on other patterns but not on this one.
Lo hice hace unos días y quedó espléndido! Los talles son acertados!! Muchas gracias por compartirnos tus conocimientos 🤗
