Pattern Description:
Sportswear
The tie-dyed cossack-style shirt and shorts literally make a cool outfit! They'll be a favorite on hot summer days.
Pattern Sizing:
Children's sizes 110 to 134 cm. I used 110.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
yes, except the part where I messed up the underlap (?) under the front opening.
Were the instructions easy to follow?
yes, except, again, the part where I messed up the piece that goes under the front opening.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I liked that it is a pull-on shirt made out of woven fabric. (but I might have taken a softer, lighter fabric, really).
Fabric Used:
printed cotton.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
none. Except the above mentioned boo-boo for the opening.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes, actually, I might get this out again next summer to make him another one, one size up.
Conclusion:
He loves it. (but he loves most things I make for him). And another learning experience: should have taken a lighter-weight fabric. Actually, I think this might also look nice made out of a shirting, for a lighter take on semi-formal wear for young boys.

Really love this. I sew a lot of Ottobre patterns for my boy, but so far, they never came up with this kind of pattern (I altered a pattern to make a pull-over blouse). So I definitally will trace this pattern (my sewing-teacher has all the Burda's). Thanks for sharing, Ria

That looks so comfy, I'd wear it! I think the heavier-weight fabric makes a great fall/winter piece. Then, you can do a lighter-weight version for spring/summer.
