Here’s a pic of the first run at this pattern, in a size 6. The result is a good example of why it’s important to always check the measurements for size before tracing a pattern. Though Zoe is always a 6 in Kwik Sew, the size 6 in this particular pattern is too big.

After confirming the size 4/5 (XS) was a good fit with the crushed panne velour version, I made this one yesterday. Grumpy Care Bear is my favorite, and I suspect it will not be long before Zoe outgrows Care Bears.

I made this the other day in a size 6, but it was a bit big, so I did it again in a size 5. Much better! Crushed panne velour – slippery and a bit fuzzy, not my favorite thing to work with. FOE for the neckline and armholes, and then I just ran the bottom hem through the serger with some variegated purple Woolly Nylon in the loopers.
