I just love the fit and feel of this top. With easy modifications I have a garment that fits me perfectly. I finished the hem and arm holes with bias tape. I have adapted the pattern to a dress and will post the result. I would recommend Jalie and all their patterns

I made the sleeveless blouse version. It was an interesting construction technique, but easy to follow. I was between sizes and chose the larger one which was a good decision. I also have a long torso from bra line to top of shoulder and it was a pinch too short with the front seam not properly positioned below my bustline, so I will need to lengthen the front and back top pieces to get a better fit next time. I will definitely make it again!

I wanted to make a cozy pullover to wear at home for fall and winter. That is what I got. I measured another long sleeve pullover top I already liked to get a sense of what size to make for what I wanted. I chose a four sizes larger. I made sure to pick a zipper that resembled what I see in RTW fleece type jackets to avoid a homemade look.
I love how it hugs my short neck in the back and yet doesn’t get in the way at front. I also appreciate that ribbing is not needed anywhere in this pattern. This makes a good hoodie alternative. I wish I would have added a kangaroo pocket or side seam pockets. I like the double layers on the front—so warm. My one small gripe is that there was no instruction for using a larger size when sewing thicker fabrics. It wasn’t a problem for me, but could be for others.

j'adore ce haut il tombe tellement bien

I am so happy to have discovered Jalie patterns. Every time I used the traditional ones, I was disappointed and actually stopped making clothes for years. But Jalie fits me perfectly. What a treat! My fabric store was very generous and gave me more fabric than required so I was able to add 3/4 sleeves (which I took from another Jalie pattern and they fit the armhole perfectly). I did not have enough for the included long sleeves and just shortening them would have given me sleeves that were too wide for 3/4. I found the pattern itself a bit confusing. The layout diagram was only for View A (and I was making B) so I had to really think to figure out what I needed. Neither B nor E appeared on the layout diagrams. I also like to read instructions before starting and I had a heck of a time understanding the front bodice. I googled it and someone had done a review about how you sew it, then turn it inside out and it magically creates a lined bodice ... So I stopped trying to understand it and just did it. Yup, magic! In fact, it is a very simple pattern and quick to make. Bravo Jalie!
