Pattern Description:
Girls' tunic and leggings.

Pattern Sizing:
XS-XL. I made the XL or size 14 for my tall 12 year old.

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?
Extremely easy and clear. Because I had traced out the pattern for a previous pair, and the serger was already threaded in a coordinating color, I was able to make this one in 15 minutes start to finish.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
Liked everything about it.

Fabric Used:
Ponte knit with lycra.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
Inserted the elastic into a casing instead of sewing it to the top of the waistband.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes and yes. I've sewn the leggings 4 times and the top 3 times.

Conclusion:
A great basic. The leggings fit just like RTW leggings. Because I had traced out the pattern for a previous pair, and the serger was already threaded in a coordinating color, I was able to make this one in 15 minutes start to finish. That's faster than going to a store to purchase a pair.

My review of the top in the same pattern.

Information about the tie-dyed shirt shown with it in the photo above.
