I'm torn between the jacket and the Renfrew top. Probably the Renfrew. I have been wanting to make myself some cute new tops and some Spoonflower knitted fabric would be an awesome thing to make them from. - evenspor

I have Meg's book "Growing Up Sew Liberated" and have made several projects from it. My boys especially love the reversible capes, with which they have been super heroes, bats, jedi, royalty, etc. I also love Meg's blog. This looks like a great pattern, and I love that she included different bust sizes. - evenspor
