First Jelie Pattern Ever

Hi All,
I made my first Jalie pattern! The sweetheart top! And I love it!
I'll soon post a formal review, of course, but here it is -


This pattern had so many great reviews on PatternReview that I just had to try it. in spite of how much it costs...
Well, I was not disappointed!
I had one problem with the instructions! for some reason the numbers on the pattern pieces did not match the numbers in the actual instructions! Weird!
But after some confusion I just ignored it!
Unlike most of the pattern that I made for my self -
1. The sizing is good! I made size W, according to my measurements, and it fits!
2. each step is explained well!
I will make this top again, in a better fabric, and in long sleeves too!

I am now in the process of making a winter Sasha for my 6 years old daughter, her birthday is coming up next month, lots of stuff to finish by then!

On another note, I'm disappointed by my subscription to BWOF. I had 3 issues by now, and I like none of them!
I hope it gets better soon!!!!
