Pattern Description: Pullover sweatshirt with collar

Pattern Sizing:I sewed the medium size

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? All except the zipper

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like the finished fit

Fabric Used:sweatshirt fleece

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: none

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?yes

Conclusion: Next time I know how to put in the zipper so it looks nice and even. I didn't understand the directions for putting in zipper from pattern, a sewing friend helped me. I liked the sweathshirt, it is nice and warm for winter. I think I will use fleece next time.

Buy this pattern for $11.96  List Price: $15.95   Add to Bag Add to Bag
