T-Shirt and Half Zip Pullover

I love Jalie patterns and this one is not different. Taking a break from sewing for myself and making something for my husband now! Looking forward to making a great garment,

Half-Zip Fleece Pullover - 2212

I used this pattern to create a biking shirt from my husband; but, I must say, I found it extremely challenging. I have sewn a lot, but the instructions given for this pattern were not enough for me. I found the drawings too vague and it was challenging for me to determine exactly what I was to do for each step. More detailed instructions, I'm sure, would be greatly appreciated for future sewers, and if others don't need that much detail, no harm done as they can just ignore the extra info. This pattern is $16.98 Canadian, which is a higher price point. I think, that for that price point, more detailed instructions, a video sew along and a zipper facing should be included which is why I am only giving 3 stars. By including these items, the end result is sure to be much better for everyone. I think the final product, once achieved, is very nice; however, my husband has a sloping back and very rounded shoulders and this pattern was not the best for him.

Good basic pattern

Just working on this. Knits are not always easy but the pattern is well written and such a good basic that I’m likely to make it in a few different colors for me. Love the multiple sizes so I can make for other family members. Would recommend buying from this company
