5 out of 5 starsOK pattern, but had very few things to guide you as in minimal instructions and could use more photos because I could not figure out how to make the waist quilting even though I'm a professional corsetierre. It didn't fit at all even with my best effort because the gussets are huge and my customer has no hips and bust but huge underarms and big waist. Recommend this for "normal" sized women who don't need waist cinching, and for people who already know how to do it. I had trouble adjusting the size. I like the multi-sized patterns that draw all the lines best in a pdf pattern because you just trace over the measurements rather than have to build all from scratch. Turned out OK, but was a struggle and nothing as pretty as this despite my best efforts. I couldn't get the quilting to match up and had no idea how to do it.

5 out of 5 starsThe design looks great. I've just got all of the basic inexpensive materials I need to make a test mask. After I figure out what adjustments, if any, I need to make to better fit my head I'll invest in a better material for the mask. Thank you so much for your advice, I really appreciate it! :-)

5 out of 5 starsI have a difficult time processing written instructions- so the word heavy instructions were difficult for me to follow. The video did help some and I ended up relying on my previous sewing experience a lot. I really love the results and can't wait to build my astromech at Disney and carry them around in my new bag! I would highly recommend this pattern to a more experienced crafter.
