Pattern Description: Girls' unlined coat w/button closure.

Pattern Sizing: 3-16, I made the size 8

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? mostly

Were the instructions easy to follow? very easy

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Very easy pattern, goes together in an afternoon. There are collar/cuff options that would be fun in other fabrics. Also a hat!

Fabric Used: This may look like fur and feel like fur, but it's fleece from Hobby Lobby.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I got to the collar attachment part and decided it would create bulk around the neck. So I finished it off with the facings. I think it looks better and the "fur" fabric shows off better. Added vintage buttons and a vintage label (she was impressed with a label).

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? This is such an easy pattern, I will definitely make it again for other granddaughters. It has nice big pockets too. My granddaughter wears a size 8 RTW, and this jacket fits loose, she could wear a sweater under it. Would recommend it, yep.

Conclusion:

Buy this pattern for $8.96  List Price: $11.95   Add to Bag Add to Bag
