What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I loved the style, I feel like it looks very RTW.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend I sewed the cuffs on in the flat vs the round. Also, the hood on the size F was very large for a 2yo. I will trim it down a bit on the next one
Would you sew this pattern again? Yes
Would you recommend this pattern to others? Yes
Any additional comments There is A LOT of topstitching. I would reccomend a 2nd sewing machine with a double needle set up, or a seperate CS machine because you have to switch from sewing/serging to topstitching very often. The sleeves are pretty long, but I think part of the design is that they can go over your hands. Nice length jacket, nice pocket size. I would not reccomend trying to CS the waistband or the collar area, I broke about 4 needles :p I also did not zig zag the edges of the cuffs, waistbands, pocket welt, hood front before sewing to the garment. I just held it together as I serged. I didn't want any extra bulk another seam would bring.
