Customer Reviews of the Windbreaker Sewing Pattern

Our customers love the Zephyr. Here are a few comments about it: 

"Perfect. Very well done and easy to understand. The dimensions are right and fit well." - Joannie

"So easy. We are a family of bike riders. It is so difficult to find child size windbreaker/raincoats for kids especially when they wear toddler sizes. This coat exceeds what I was looking for. I’ve spayed it to make it waterproof..." - Beverly

"I made this using boardshort fabric and lined with a thin knit. I made a large (usually wear size 12) and it fit perfectly. Normally, I lengthen the body and sleeves, but after holding up the pattern pieces, I decided to try it without lengthening either. It is a perfect fit! And as usual, the directions were easy to follow. Another great PAB pattern!" - D.T.
