Pattern Description: Fleece hoodie pattern with a feminine cut.

Pattern Sizing:xxs through I think xxl. I made a M and it fits pretty well. If I do it again I will add 2 or so inches to the sleeves and an inch or so right at the waistline. I'm tall though.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?Mostly I used poly fleece from my stash instead of lovely organic cotton fleece so it looked a bit different but that is why.

Were the instructions easy to follow?Yes, it was a craftsy class. Some of the early lessons were a bit long but the one with all the directions for the hoodie was quite good.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?I love that it has a curved waist. I'm a D cup so I really can't stand tops that are just a big rectangle.

Fabric Used:some not that great poly fleece from my stash

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:none this time but as I mentioned I will add to the arms and waist next time

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?yes and yes I got the class on sale though and craftsy has so many sales you really should wait for them.

Conclusion: Here is a link to my blog if you would like to hear me ramble a bit more.Click Here

Great looking hoodie! I'm enrolled in that class (one of many, lol) but hadn't tried any of the patterns yet. Good to see your positive review.
