Review on πŸ§₯ Effortless Style: Simplicity US1108A Misses' Kimono and Cardigan Sewing Pattern Kit, Sizes XXS-XXL - Code 1108 by Hannah Curi

Nice simple pattern!

I had a beautiful cotton tie dye that I was trying to figure out what to do with and this pattern was perfect. It was easy to follow and understand. However, this is not a quick submission because of the group. I also did French seams and sewed in a trench which took quite a bit of time. Suggestions: Go smaller than you think it's huge. With a very light, sheer fabric, this may be fine, but if you use anything heavier than cotton, it will choke you. I'm 5ft 7in, 135lbs, athletic (so no boobs) and I've grown short. I should have chosen very small. Allow the use of additional fabric to match the prints. If you have a print where you don't want to ruin the back seam, consider removing the back seam and trimming at the crease. Just remember to remove the seam allowances.
