Excellent attention to detail as always, and clever construction details. As someone with short arms I especially appreciate the arm length measurement to make sure they’re the correct length. I also love a layered pattern.

Not only is the end result cosy, comfortable and wearable but sewing this up is fun and interesting. It doesn’t come together like a basic sweater pattern and the result is a lovely finish which, combined with the thoughtful style details, makes this a great sew. It’s not beginner, but the detailed instructions mean it’s a nice step up for a novice sewer but also adds a bit of interest for someone with experience. The hem detail and seam binding in particular gives a really professional finish.

Enjoyed making this and am certainly enjoying wearing the result! It was pretty easy to follow – I only struggled with the neck binding a little as my fabric was so thick. Next time I would attach that first before overlocking the rest I think. Love the little humorous touches like naming the sizes after biscuits and little comments throughout the pattern instructions!

The details on this Fling Hoodie Dress is spot on.
The sleeves are awesome, the detail on the hem is magical and how everything comes together when sewn is brilliant!
I love this and the dress is so comfy.
