      Exactly the layering piece I needed

      I made the Sookie bolero in size M and it fit exactly as expected without any changes. I used a lightweight rib knit and really liked how the shrug sits neatly at the shoulders without slipping. This was my first bolero-style garment and it paired perfectly over a sleeveless dress I already owned. I�ll definitely make another in a different fabric.

      Great everyday layering piece

      I made this to throw over tank tops and dresses, and it�s been surprisingly useful. The finished shrug is lightweight and comfortable without feeling bulky. I used a rayon spandex knit in size M and didn�t need to adjust anything. It�s already been worn multiple times.

      Good value for a versatile pattern

      For such a simple-looking garment, the pattern feels well thought out. I�m an intermediate sewist and enjoyed how quickly it came together without feeling sloppy. I used the A0 files and cut on the floor, which saved time. This feels like a pattern I�ll reuse often.

      Beginner-friendly and not intimidating

      I�m still a beginner and was nervous about knits, but this was very manageable. I followed the instructions step by step and didn�t feel lost at any point. I made a size L in cotton jersey and finished it in one evening. It gave me a lot more confidence to try knit patterns again.

      Nice fit but I sized up for comfort

      I usually sit between sizes, so I chose to size up and I�m glad I did. The shrug still looks fitted but feels more comfortable through the arms. I used a modal stretch knit which drapes nicely. Overall I�m happy with it, though I might experiment with sleeve length next time.
