Pattern Description: Top with hood

Pattern Sizing:Individual sizing,- add personal measurements.

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, the ones found at lekala.co

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? It was not big enough over the waist and hips. I had to add to the pattern.

Fabric Used:cotton jersey

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: Lengthened it with about 4 inches or 10 cm.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes, I probably would.

Conclusion:

I like the shape. It puzzled me that I had to make size ajustments. Still, I could handle the changes I needed to make. I like the shape of the garment. See my blog http://sewingforfun.wordpress.com/2013/01/28/lekala-4161/

Love the hoodie that you have made for your niece. Love the stripes on the hood. Great job.

The hood and poodle are fabulous little touches. I also like the colors and the use of the cord thing. I hope she loves it and enjoys wearing it often.
