Need more options

This needs to be offered in more sizes for the older kids. I have teens and teens that are adult sizes that want this.

So glad I was worried for no reason

I have put off purchasing this pattern because I am
Horribly afraid of knits but this pattern walked me through the process so thoroughly, that I was very confident before even cutting out the pattern. The Leo I made for my granddaughter’s gymnastics turned out great and I have a second one cut out!!

Very nice leotard

Instructions were thorough and clear. I like the shorts option very much. Pattern fit according to measurements, and I will be sewing more.

Great pattern and simple to sew, needed some modifications .

This is a great base pattern. It was easy and quick to sew. Instructions were straight forward. It required a fair amount of modifications to fit properly, which is the be expected with such a form fitting garment. I also modified the scoop in the back.

I expected more....

I posted on the fb group looking for some guidance with this pattern and after multiple bumps not one person responded. I’m assuming that not many people have made this pattern which is sad because I was excited to create some beautiful pieces for my daughters.

Ophelia.... the options are endless

I was so intimidated trying to sew this.... as always Violette fields never disappoints. This is the second garment I’ve made out of knit. It was far easier than I had worked it up to be in my mind. I without a doubt will be making this over and over for my daughter, and niece. Read over the suggestions they are there for a reason. I made this 100% on my sewing machine. I love love love this pattern and all of the options it comes with. It’s perfect for dance and gymnastics!!!!
