Mama Paige Piko Sewing Pattern Review:
Pattern Description:
The Mama Paige Piko is a quick and simple knit top, tunic, and dress. This is a dolman sleeve pattern with a straight from the chest to the hip cut. The pattern includes two neck line options, finished with binding. There are three sleeve options including a flounce, half sleeve, and long sleeve and three hemline options.
Pattern Sizing:
Sizes Grey-Red which coordinates with the Made for Mermaids size charts. I cut the straight Pink.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing?
Yes
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes, this is a very easy and simple sew. The neckline binding may be different for some who are used to adding bands but it was easy to follow along.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
The best part is…it’s free. Can’t beat that. It is a cute and versatile style. Easy to make and wear and comes together with little time and fabric. The only part I do not love is the length on the back of the tunic. It is really long for my tastes but that can be easily changed.
Fabric Used:
This is a fabulous mustard rayon spandex from LA Finch Fabrics.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made?
None. This is the short sleeve, curved hem tunic length with the low neckline.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Absolutely, I have made a top and a dress and plan on making more. This is great for anyone. It is beginner friendly.
