Yes, this pattern is the absolute best I have ever used and I have been sewing for well over 50 years professionally…. 1 alteration only because I’m a pear shape I have to add to the hip area all the time …. That’s it …. This pattern is a dream …. Wish I would have used it right away instead of waiting over a year with it sitting on the counter top wondering how many changes I would have to make to it … love, love, love
The patterns does not include finished garment measurements or indicate ease. It has ZERO ease, which I discovered only by measuring pattern pieces after printing and assembling. Plan to add your desired amount, or size up. Also, the children's sizes are simply scaled-down women's cut with waist shaping, so adjust there if your child is still pretty straight.
Other than these minor issues, it's straightforward to make.
I found this a pleasure to make because it’s so simple to follow the pattern & instructions.
I made the raglan top with a plain body & patterned sleeves & neck so it look really effective. I made leggings to match the sleeves so it looks really funky together.
Surprised at how quickly an amateur stitcher like me with no actual training to sew (did a bit a school but mostly learned from experience!) yet this was easy & pleasurable to make.
I can't even count how many times I have made this pattern. It fits great from toddler to adult sizes. This is the top I use for my annual "pajama factory" for nieces, my daughters and myself. I also have several in my day wardrobe. I love the different necklines.
I don't sew that much, but I just counted and I've made this pattern 15 times! Less than $1 a shirt, and getting cheaper each month. Pajama tops, stretch fleece tops, even a furry cheetah print hoody that my daughter could wear on its own or as part of a costume. I've made it for my skinny kid, my skinny 75-year-old mom, me, and my curvy best friend. I've added stripes, pockets, contrast hems, and have plans for a neck zipper. My only fit issues were that the sleeves were a bit tight and short (easily fixed) and I added darts to the adult hood to make it fit more snugly (child size hood perfect). Otherwise, the pattern sizing works great in a lot of different fabrics. My favorite is furry fleece with a kangaroo pocket - good for 10 months of the year in Alaska!
