I was using this pattern a couple months ago and got it almost done, but had to set it aside to work on my Dickens costume for this month. I thought the pattern went together very easily, but I didn't like the floppy cuffs on it. So I cut it down to made normal size cuffs. I have a tendency to wave my arms too much and with big cuffs I'd either knock things over or catch on the. Or set them down in BBQ sauce. :O
