Pattern Sizing:Xsm-Sml-Med. I made a Med which fits me a UK size 12.

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?Very.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?Dislike that they say to use stretch knits only for the tops yet only give you instructions as if you were using a woven fabric. And why do instructions always suggest hand sewing down facings at zips and shoulder; with this type of garment it is easy to machine finish in both areas.

Fabric Used: A type of synthetic fleece which has a thick pile and is nice and snuggly. A good buy in a shop as it was more expensive online.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: Made no design changes or alteration, though when I make it again I will investigate using a fancy zip. To topstitch I used a topstich variation I hadnt used before. It was effective but I should have allowed for the extra thread instead of suffering the frustration of running out and having to stop! My fault that!

Would you sew it again?Would you recommend it to others? Yes on both counts. I made it for my adult daughter thinking she might not like the colours, but she approves! So now I will make one for myself and perhaps the bottoms too.

Conclusion: A satisfactory diversion as it is easy to sew, came out well and is appreciated in our cold winter, though the sun did shine for me to take the picture - yipee.
