Pattern Description: Coordinates for babies and toddlers with short and long sleeved peasant blouses, cargo pants, capris and wrap jacket.

Pattern Sizing: 6 month to 3 years. All sizes are included. I used tissue paper to trace off the 9 mo. and the 2yr for my two DGDs, so I could use the pattern again.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes, but I lengthened them.
Were the instructions easy to follow?This is labeled EASY, but I think it assumes you have been sewing quite a bit and does not give enough pictures and directions to be considered EASY.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I thought the designs were trendy.

Fabric Used: a flowered knit print from JoAnn's.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I lengthened the long sleeved top to make a dress. click here
I changed the button closure from a chain stitch to a fabric loop. Loop Closures This is one place there are no directions and I did find a youtube video showing how to make the crocheted loops; I just liked the fabric loops better. Here is the link to the crocheted loops video:Chain Stitch Thread Loop I also added a third button. click here
I also shortened the 9 mo. size sleeve an inch and should have done the same on the size 2 yr.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes, I like the top and I would like to make the cargo pants. It takes moderate experience to do a good job on this top.
