Beautiful pattern, can’t wait to make this.
Lovely pattern - easy to download and understand
I am having so much fun with the Pathfinder vest and the Crossroads front patterns. I am sewing them for infants and toddlers but I'm using fleece fabric which has adapted nicely to the pattern. I also sewed them with flannel and cotton fabric. The friends who have received them love them. My only complaint is printing out the pattern for each size. Because I'm making infant or toddler sizes there is a lot of wasted paper. Sometimes it's only a small corner of a hat or the pointed edge of the back side extender. The patterns and instructions are well written and easy to follow. I'm also enjoying the petal wrap dress in the infant sizes.
Chiar voiam să vă trimit o poza, dar nu stiam unde. Ce pot sa va spun, sunt foarte încântată de tot, explicațiile sunt de foarte mare ajutor, video de asemenea. Nu ma pot opri din admirat ce aveti pe site. Fără cusur totul!
Loved this pattern. The instructions were very clear and easy to follow. Highly recommend this pattern to beginner sewists. It's great.
I purchased this at the last minute as my son wanted to dress as our (very fluffy) cat for his school disco. The vest with the animal add on worked a treat - easy to put together and highly effective for both costuming and dancing. I'll be making more.
What a great pattern! I was a bit daunted by the number of steps, but the instructions are incredibly clear. I used the dragon add on and have two happy boys now.
A terrific pattern and instructions, will be making more 💕
The pathfinder baby and children's vest patterns were so simple to follow. I learnt a lot as I moved through using these patterns and I felt clever and proud at the end of the process. I made three vests in one long weekend - was the most therapeutic weekend I'd had in a long time. The mother of the children who I made these vests for received these vests in the mail today (photo attached) - she can't wait to see her children wearing their vests and I can't wait to see these vests being worn in the wild :)
This was fun and straightforward to make. I love that there are so many options to customise the vest and extra info on the blog. Thank you :)
