Pattern review: Knippie #3-2019: 20 Kid's Jumper #2

 

The first jumper was a bit big, but I decided to keep the same size but add a snap to the back to keep the shoulders from falling.

 

The pattern

Jumper 20 is half knee length, has an open back, ties and pockets.

Additional info:

• EU 98-134 (ca 3-10y) - I made a 104 (4y)

The fabric

A darkred French terry.

Pattern instructions

The instructions ask for a lining of the front and the back bodice in the same fabric. I omitted the lining as I feel lining kid's dresses quickly makes them to warm. Therefore I sew according to my own insight. The tunnel for the elastic might be the most difficult, but I like this construction very much. In the right size it would fit very closely to the back.

Fit

I love the fit very much. It is a bit to large, but the elastic makes the dress fit on the back even with the open back. As it is a fall jumper she will always wear a legging or pants underneath, but I will keep this dress in mind for later summers.

Conclusion

I love it more than I thought I would. It is a quick make, the back makes it a bit different and the elastic makes for a good fit. A definite love here. Oh and pockets....
