I nice simple pattern which was easy to follow. I managed scaled down to fit a 6 month old. It was great to use up some leftover scraps too.
The instructions and pattern are easy to follow. With written and pictured instructions make two reference points. Having instructions on the pattern itself meant you didn’t have to keep referring to anything else while cutting
Found the pattern super easy to follow. Made one for my best friend who loves it.

A really sweet pattern with good instructions that went together super quickly
So adorable and cant wait to make it.
Gorgeous vest which made up really well. I haven’t sewed children’s clothes for many years and the instructions were so helpful. I was a bit to eager and made the vest with the hood and the collar haha but still looks cute 😊
I made this pattern almost the same as the cute little girl in your photos. It was easy to use and the pieces all fit together well. The good is a really nice fit and stays in without falling over the face
Would definitely recommend and I will be using it again and again
Kupując ten wykrój totalnie nie miałam pojęcia czy sobie z nim poradzę, jestem samoukiem, nauczyłam się szyć w trakcie lockdown'u oglądając tutoriale na youtube! Co więcej, mam zwykłą domową maszynę (choć marzę o overlocku ;P ) Gdy otworzyłam plik jak szyć wszystko stało się jasne, a sam proces szycia przebiegł tak przyjemnie, że zabieram się za szycie płaszczyka dla synka, a następnie kamizelki i płaszcza dla siebie! Te wzory są obłędne! Dziękuję za to co tworzycie ;) Na zdjęciach mój Mały Smok Julian ;) Pozdrowienia z Polski ;) Ściskam i całuję <3
Super schöner Schnitt der mir viel Spaß gemacht hat zu nähen und meine Kinder sind begeistert!!
