Great Pattern!

I made a skating dress, and the skater was saying how cold she is (pre workout), so I made this for her to wear before she’s all warmed up. It turned out super cute, pattern was straightforward, and directions easy to follow.

Hi Evonne, Thank you sharing your valuable feedback! Love how the bolero came out :)

Wore it the same evening I finished it

I sewed the Sookie on a Saturday afternoon with a dinner out planned that evening. I finished with an hour to spare, pressed it, and wore it out. Nothing beats wearing something you made on the same day.

Gwyneth R.
Hemming the curved edge was tricky but manageable

The curved front hem required a little patience to turn and press neatly. I used lots of small clips and a ham, and it came out smooth. The instructions mentioned this step would take time, which was reassuring rather than alarming.

E
Emma
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.

G
Gemma
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.
