Pattern Description: a See and Sew pajama and robe set with no zippers or fasteners, but optional trim.

Pattern Sizing: Size 'A' (7-8-10) I made size 10.

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? Yes, when carefully followed, although some of the most important drawings were too small to show detail I needed to see to avoid making beginner mistakes.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I liked the pattern overall; simple scope and no more than three new skills for me to master (inserting trim, a front facing and collar/facing attachment). Some graphs too small and grainy to see, but the instructions were good. Wish it was sized through 12.

Fabric Used: Cotton flannel with a mercifully nondirectional print.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: One daughter wanted no trim. Other daughter wanted trim just on collar and shirt bottom.

Would you sew it again? YES. Would you recommend it to others?YES.

Conclusion: Liked it; would like it in bigger sizes. Helped me learn and refine new skills.
