      Fun pattern with cool style twist!
    Reviewed by Nancy Barbata (✓ Verified Buyer) on 04/15/2021
    I had so much fun stitching up this pattern! I love the pocket detail and, even though it looks advanced, I found the directions (as always) so well-written that I was able to complete the garment successfully without a hitch! I want to make it up again and try the other view(s)/other fabric(s). I see now that my mistake on the first try was my fabric choice. It's just too blah... I need to break out of my "grey" mode and get some vibrancy going! Striped fabric next!

    Super easy and quick to sew, perfect fit and so comfortable it came as my favorite basic. I did the sweat version with long sleeves and I need to do more. I am French but instructions are easy to understand.

    I used this knit pattern for a woven faux fur top for my very slim grand daughter. I cut it a size larger than I would have for a knit. Because it was basically a box, it was perfect for the faux fur. She loved it. And I can use the pattern over and over again for her...only with a knit this time.

      Great design....
    Reviewed by Chris (✓ Verified Buyer) on 12/20/2017
    Bought this as a training pattern for my sister's first project for a new machine. She did it and was really pleased with the fit and we made a short cowelneck for the fleece we used. She was thrilled with the final result and was going out to buy more fleece to make one for her daughter after I left. Love the last page that can be printed on a large format printer like Staples have in their stores here.

    It was actually the first time I have sewn a garment with the aid of a pattern. Being a novice, I found the instructions very easy to follow and the assembly of the pdf pattern was very uneventful. Will definitely sew more! Thank you!😊

    Reviewed by Kathryn (✓ Verified Buyer) on 08/23/2016
    I really like this pattern. I made a jumper (minus the pockets) out of a grey cotton jersey knit for this winter. I extended the length right down to my hips to keep me warm. I also unfinished the neckline to give it a different modern look. It's so comfy! I wear it all the time with my black hoody puffer vest. It's the best! I already have plans to make another 😊

      very stylish top
    Reviewed by Sheryl Wright (✓ Verified Buyer) on 07/09/2016
    I saw a great photo of this pattern on a blog and then read another review on blogless ana's blog. I had to have the pattern and made it up very quickly (twice) in blue and white striped jersey. I found it very easy to follow the instructions and the sizing was spot on. I don't fold my sleeves back but leave the border down which makes a nice statement. I didn't include the bottom border with vertical stripes, for me it was a bit too much. I have made one version slightly longer than the pattern and another a longer again, to wear over white jeans. I love the pattern and will make it again for certain.

    Reviewed by Jane Mika (✓ Verified Buyer) on 04/21/2016
    I love the Bento Tee pattern. The sizing was perfect, instructions very detailed and the resulting tee just looked great. I will be making another one soon. I used an interlock jersey. The fabric really suits this pattern. This was my first Oliver + S pattern. I will be ordering more in the future. I think I will stick with the paper patterns though. The PDF version is a lot of work, although I can just print out another … decisions decisions

      Fun Top
    Reviewed by Sue (✓ Verified Buyer) on 04/17/2016
    Bought this pattern as an experiment because I was not experienced at sewing with knits. Tried the short sleeved version first and was amazed at how well it came together. Very well drafted and I love how the cuff on the sleeve works. Was a little worried about sewing the neckband but the instructions were great and the result was too. Charming little shirt!

    This is a great pattern. Just a joy to sew. I have made a few in both long and short sleeves, as well as heavier and lighter weight knits. All worked great. They are in style and fun to wear. The pattern offers lots of opportunities to customize and I will definitely make more.

    Reviewed by Cindy Hampton on 11/06/2014
    I loved the pattern and I've made it three times. Twice right by the pattern and once with added length on the band. I did do the pocket step that was in your instructions to do on the sewing machine on my serger using the "inside corner" technique that we teach in our mastery class. It worked great! I am enjoying using your patterns.

      Useful top
    Reviewed by Jen Forsythe on 11/02/2014
    A very straightforward and fast make. I used a wine coloured merino fabric and very pleased with how it turned out. I shortened mine, but kind of wish I hadn't, it turned out slightly short. It is the sort of top you can wear in lots of different ways and with lots of different fabrics. I know there will be a lot more of these in my wardrobe. Here's a peep at my version: http://stitchynotions.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/convenient-bento-tee.html
