The shirt pattern is Jalie 2805 and worked pretty well. I used a holey old jersey knit sheet for the fabric (being green and upcycling). My big complaint with the pattern was that the pieces are mislabeled in that the pictures don't match the view labels (for example View A has a picture of View B--not sure if that is the exact problem but you get the idea) so I cut out the wrong front piece, but other than that the pattern went together well. I love Jalie patterns because they don't have excess ease in them and you can make adult and kid sized clothes. I made myself one as well and it fits great. Hopefully I'll get a picture later. I made a long sleeve version as well (but she stained it with chocolate ice cream the first time she wore it). The second time I made it I lengthened it a little. I don't think the pattern drafts for a small child's protuding belly (which is oh so cute) but because the fabric is stretchy it still works. It goes together quickly. It takes me just over an hour to sew it up after cutting it out.
