Simplicity S9469 - Pattern Review

S9469 Simplicity Sewing Pattern

If you didn’t grab Simplicity’s S9469 when it was released, you should go get yourself a copy of this pattern. It is an easy sew. This pattern is a woven top with a keyhole neckline or v neck line with tie strings with three quarter length balloon sleeves that are gathered with elastic.

Pattern Sizing: Pattern has one size range from 6 to 24. I cut a size 22 but I could have cut a size 20 based on the amount of ease at the hips and bust.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes looks exactly like it does on the pattern envelope.

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes the instructions very easy to follow.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like the pattern, I wouldn’t say its a quick sew but at six hours total I can say its fairly easy and relatively painless to sew.

Fabric Used: I used a rayon challis from Telio Fashions purchased thru Fabric.com.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I did view C with the three quarter length sleeves. I also didn’t do the elastic cuffs. So I drafted by own sleeve binding cut on the bias and used that instead of the elastic. I like that finish much better.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes, and I will be making View A next with the V neckline. I just need to find the perfect cotton lawn fabric for it. It’s the perfect summer top.
