Pattern Description: tops, capris, and a hat (some unisex)

Pattern Sizing: 1-3, 4-6 (I made a size 6 with a "slim" adjustment for Gracie.)

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

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? This pattern went together very well except for the back waist. I had some issues making the waistband line up. If I make it again, I may cut the back waist higher as I would rather have extra fabric than be messing around with it.

Fabric Used: a cotton patchwork

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: none

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? yes & yes

Conclusion: More on my blog post
