I struggled with the collar on this, but the rest was easy.
This is a wonderful pattern - have made it in a range of basic t shirt and sweatshirt fabrics to keep my daughter warm all winter. A fun, fast and satisfying sew!
My 5yo is super decisive about her clothes, and will not wear anything that’s not comfy and easy. I used this pattern to make a jersey top, which is now in regular rotation; she just loves it, and it’s so cute!!
I so appreciate all the options and sweet touches. Very personal and easy to follow.
Great pattern. Using it to make Easter PJs for my Grandaugter, coupled with the Mini Virginia leggings.
I love the look of the high-low hem of this pattern. Megan has also included great extras: elbow patches, appliques, etc. Measurements are accurate for sizing. Sews up quickly.
This is a fabulous staple pattern! Between all of the variations, and the size range, this is one we’re going to keep coming back to over and over again!
