9780 Pattern Description
Infant and toddler hooded jacket and pants. Which view and size did you make?
3M view A&B Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes If not, why?
- Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes If not, why?
- What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
The sizing is wretched. Even though it stated 'ample', it was much too large for the given size. My almost 3 year old can wear the 3M jacket. The pants are wide and short. Fabric used
french terry with jersey lining Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend
I added a bit of elastic in the hood. I also added a tail and appliques. Would you sew this pattern again?
No Would you recommend this pattern to others?
No Any additional comments
By the time you make all of the alterations needed for this to fit a child other than Andre the Giant, you may as well tack some ears on the hood of a pattern that is made for actual babies/toddlers. Cute concept, bad sizing. Did you SNS what you made from this pattern? If so, add a link to your SNS here.
