This time around I made view C.  See my review of view B here.

Pattern Sizing:  Available in 8-22.  I cut a 14.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?  Yes!  I think making this jacket is what I needed to get me back in the sewing game. 

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Very.  Since I used this pattern before I was familiar with the construction.  I did read through them once just to refresh my memory.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?  I love how simple yet great this pattern is.  It is not time consuming and produces a great result. 

Fabric Used:  A light blue pique purchased online.

Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made:  In my previous review I mentioned how I used my serger to finish off some of the inside edges.  This time I opted to used french seams for the sides.  You could also use bias tape as some other reviewers have done.  I opted to omit the buttons and button loop closure on the sleeves.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?  I won't sew this again but only because I have already made it twice.  I do recommend this pattern.

Conclusion: Solid pattern that I've made twice now with great results both times.  Highly recommend it.

Bottom Line: 
2 yards @ $2.75/yd = $5.50
2 buttons =$.78
Notions: thread: $1.50; facing from stash

Total: $7.78

Since I purchased this cut of fabric online, I was able to search back through my email to find details for the bottom line.
