The pattern was easy, but the knit material wasn't! My sewing machine could barely manage all the bulk. I would sew this pattern again, it's so quick and easy and only requires 1.25 meters of fabric (1 1/3 yards.) But, I won't be seduced by chunky knit fabric again!
Now and then I run across pretty sweater-type knits, but I don't buy them because I cannot imagine what I would sew out of them. I always assumed I would need some sort of matching ribbing etc., which I would never find. Now I think this will be my go-to pattern, if I do bump across a lovely knit.
A few things to admit here: I lengthened the pattern, I wouldn't do that again. I think it would look better if I just sewed it as intended (I wanted something that would completely cover my bottom, if I wore leggings.) Also, my measurements as per Burda patterns are a 40 bust and a 44 hip. I cut a 40 on top and a 42 on bottom. I ended up having to take the sides in by inches! Odd. Next time I would just cut a 38, despite the fact, that I am only a 38 in my dreams!
