2795 // Zip-Front Jacket and Hoodie

Shoddy

This is a terrible pattern, careless and sloppy. The instructions are poor and unclear and the finished result, per instructions, has a scruffy and untidy inside which I would not want to be seen The construction method suggested frequently results in having to sew through four layers of fabric at once. And then add the zip. The zip as listed in the requirements was a good 7cm too short so I had to botch the final stages. The pattern diagram implies a perfect fit but this was absolutely not so - and I'm confident that I sewed it correctly. Furthermore a 1/4" seam allowance is ludicrous when working with the sort of fabrics that are used for a hoodie. The pattern info omitted the finished garment measurements (why?) so I could not tell whether I could take a larger allowance I sense that this has been made up in a sample size and then scaled up without actually testing the larger sizes. I have ended up with a garment fit only for walking the dog in the dark. Appalling. Avoid like the plague.

Pattern Review is right!

A win! I already have 2 more planned. I predict this will be a TNT for me.

Beau patron mais les instructions manquent de détails

Très beau patron, les surpiqûres donnent un très beau fini. Les instructions sont minimales et nécessiteraient plus de détails pour les poches et SURTOUT pour le zip.
