I thought I was a pretty good at sewing, until I tried the Monterey. However the detailed instructions got me through to the finish. And my significant other got a nice hoodie that he really likes and wears all the time. Thanks for levelling up my sewing skill.
Really nice garment, and the pattern instructions were as usual well done. I appreciate the tips included as they did give a more polished and professional finish.
This is the only picture I have. That's a Marleyberry next to it, also a great pattern.
The Monterey jacket without a hood, is my husbands favourite style. The construction of this jacket is so good and the tutorial is written in such great detail you can't go wrong. The one I made was in French Terry and has a simple chest pocket.
I just love how Sinclair patterns include all the necessary minor details that make a difference to the end result, such as the neck binding, the topstitching and the construction of the zippered pocket. It may take a little longer to complete, but it is so worth it.
Overall, this was a pretty good pattern and the finished garment came out as expected. I gave this a 4 star rating due to several small, but annoying issues:
(1) fabric requirements are only listed for the largest and tallest size. I was making the smallest and shortest size so I had literally no idea how much fabric to buy and had to just guess based on my experience. At least a range of yardage would be helpful.
(2) I prefer illustrations for the instructions rather than photos. Photos can be hard to interpret sometimes.
(3) a zipper guard would have been a really nice touch to help with warmth in the wind but this pattern doesn't include one.
Wonderful pattern. I have never made one of these before. The zippers were a breeze I was challenged by the pockets but eventually fiqured it out and my husband loves his jacket!
