Pattern Name/Number 6583
Pattern Description Sweatpants, hoodie, skirt. I did the sweatpants as PJ pants for a trial run.
Which view and size did you make? Sweatpants, size 4
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? No
If not, why? Well, I made them as PJ pants without pockets to confirm the sizing.
Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes
If not, why? -
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? RUN away from this pattern. My son is a solid RTW size 7. I looked at the pattern and went hmmm, had DS take his pants off and measured in comparison. The size 4 was acres larger than his RTW pants in size 7 in width. I proceeded to cut off a couple inches in width and sewed them up, less than size 4 width, size 6 length and they are massive on him. I threw the pattern out after that. IMHO it is not worth the effort to adjust the sizing on this if the pants are this far off on sizing.
Fabric used Flannel
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend If you do decide to use this pattern, measure very very carefully and expect to ignore the sizing and measurements on the envelope. Compare to RTW clothing that fits your child instead.
Would you sew this pattern again? No
Would you recommend this pattern to others? No
Any additional comments Just an awful pattern for sizing.
