I bought this pattern before my daughter was born and I had ever intention of sewing it before she was born but life got in the way...don't you hate it when that happens?!?
The pattern doesn't have a lot of pieces and if you've sewn a peasant blouse before then it's really a piece of cake to sew. The instructions come with multiple options and to be honest it was a little confusing for me to have to flip back and forth and refer to the different directions. I opted for the easiest way for me and that was making a casing for the neck and the sleeves and inserting the elastic. For my next shirt I plan to try using bias tape for the casing.
Overall this is a great pattern and definitely a staple for your pattern collection with it's various options and sizes! I can't wait to sew another one in a print fabric, the options are endless.

Next time I think I'm going to make the hem out of a different fabric. I love the idea of mixing prints or color blocking.
