I like the pattern's styling and greatly appreciate the wide range of sizes. Some things could be improved. (1) I would suggest the measurement chart state that these are finished garment measurements. (2) The pattern states to select a size according to your bust measurement. This sizing seems important for a good fit in the upper chest and arms (otherwise, the arms may be wide, as others noted). One could grade to other sizes for waist/hips, if necessary. (3) It would be useful to have the finished sleeve length as well as the back length. (4) It would be useful to include instructions to shorten sleeves.

Great pattern. I made a muslin before I cut the good fabric. I did have to alter the sizing a bit. I just started sewing clothing. This pattern was fairly easy to assemble. The directions were somewhat vague in a couple areas but I was able to work through it. Very pleased with the completed project.

I enjoyed making this. The pattern is well drafted and good instructions. I made my usual size U and it fitted well. The only concern was that from the pictures of others makes I was concerned that the upper sleeve would be too wide. Mine also is a little wide so I’m going to take it in and adjust the pattern accordingly. I used a heavy weight polyester pointe which was perfect.

OMG, I love this pattern. I am in no way an expert seamstress but I made these jackets for my Curling team and people keep raving about them. If I can follow this pattern and make jackets people mistake as professional then you know the pattern is amazing!
Only problem I have is saying no when more curling friends ask me to make them jackets too. Back to the sewing machine I go.
