What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?

I liked the way the hood pattern pieces have notches that match the shoulder seams, so there's not too much fussy marking of quarter points. I don't like so much the way the sleeves are cut on the fold, with two notches off center. It through me off when deciding which was the front and which was the back of the sleeve for appliqué purposes.

Fabric used

Black interlock for bodies, white jersey for hood one hood lining, tight orange rib knit for other hood lining

Any additional comments

I really like the fit of these. I did one for my 2 year old (sz 86/92) and one for my 5 year old (size 110/116). I would say they run a little smaller than advertised - my five year old, for example, is only about 105 cm tall and wearing mostly 104 in Euro RTW, the two things we have sized 110/116 are HUGE!. But for my kids, this pattern fits great.
