Pattern Description: Girls' Pullover tunic, pants, and kerchief.

Pattern Sizing: 2-8, this one is a 5

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? very easy

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? It's my second time sewing this version. Goes together quickly, everything fit together just fine.

Fabric Used: Symphony Broadcloth from Joann's

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: No alterations, but the pattern calls for elastic thread for the sleeve and waist. I don't have that on hand, but used 1/4" elastic for that, and it worked just fine.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I made one for Granddaughter #1, and Granddaughter #2 saw it and wanted it in pink. So, yes, I sewed it again. I think it's very sweet for a little girl, it can be worn as a top or dress with leggings or a T-shirt underneath. I also made the little ruffly pants and kerchief in the pattern, but she took the outfit home before I could take a picture. It's like my other review though. Nice easy pattern for sweet little girls!

Conclusion:

Buy this pattern for $10.46  List Price: $13.95   Add to Bag Add to Bag
