What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?

The project was a challenge - but absolutly worth doing it.

The fit is not perfect for me - first time with a pattern by pattydoo. 

The armholes are too small - and the arms itself could be bigger. I am not able to wear a knitted jumper under the jacket.

I used the pattern to sew a vest as well - and made the armhole bigger. 

I also dropped the hood.  The vest came out just phantastic.

So the pattern can be used for a jacket/coat as well as for a nice fitted vest.

Fabric Used:  Softshell

How are the instructions ?

The instructions come along with a great videotutorial on it - so noone is doing that better than pattydoo ! Such a great help !!

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: 

The arms and the armhole are too small. I have to take the next size if I sew another coat. 

Would you sew it again? Yes - specially as a vest. 

(The second vest is on the way...)

Level of experience: 

Definitly experienced - sewing with softshell is not easy - and you need a good sewing machine for that fabric.

I sew with a Pfaff Quilt Expression 4.2 - and it was difficult in the end when it came to the many layers.

Would you recommend it to others? Yes !
