I made this for a Christmas present for our great-grand-daughter Skye I hope her daddy likes it. I have to say how hard the instructions for this McCalls pattern were! There were little to none on how to make the pocket mittens & I ripped out many stitches trying to get them right to the point where there no raw edges when you flip the mittens over the wee hands! I even added the inside flap so the zipper wouldn't catch her at all.
I should have added interfacing for the snaps but the instructions didn't say this & it was only after I did the snap that I realized they should have the interfacing in it, I will know for the next time as I have added it to the notes lol so I won't forget.
My zipper was a little bit too long & since I wasn't sure what to do about it I tucked the little extra underneath the hood seam when I attached it.
I love how cute this is & hope to figure out a way to make this a hoodie that you pull over your head instead of the zipper one. I think I almost have it figured out too lol.
If you can buy the Kwik Sew pattern books where you live they are great value. They have books for all ages the Toddlers one has Master patterns (which you make a tissue pattern from NEVER cut the Master) for just about everything you would ever want to make and in about 4 sizes. The instructions are so clear and easy to follow. The garment you make could be worn to a Wedding or play in the yard in all from the same pattern just depending on the fabric you choose.
Over the years I bought them all seemed a bit expensive at the time but paid for themselves over and over.
