Pattern Description: t-shirt and knit pants for toddlers

Pattern Sizing: 1T - 4T I made the shirt in 3T and the pants in 4T

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes!

Were the instructions easy to follow? Incredibly easy.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Like: really easy, basic pieces all kids wear. Instructions even have steps on how to change up the patterns. Dislike: I think the neck binding that comes with the pattern is too big - it looks like a mock-turtleneck instead of a crew neck. I cut mine down.

Fabric Used: Basic ribbed knit and a printed knit. Printed knit has rockets, flying saucers and Martians on it.

Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made:Cut the neck binding down to 1 3/4", added additional 1/4" seam allowance for a total of 1/2". I'm just not very good with 1/4" seam allowances. I also did the contrasting fabric rocket cut-out in the middle. On the printed shirt, the sleeves have solid fabric with a stripe of print down the middlde. Not big changes, but changes nonetheless.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?I've sewed these pieces about a dozen times, and I'm sure I'll sew them a dozen more.

Conclusion: This book would be a bargain at twice the price! It's my go-to for anything I want to make for my son.
