This is the third one I’ve made. I have a long one in cotton waffle and I made the same for my son-in-law for his birthday.
It’s definitely my most worn item of clothing and I wanted a summer version.
I made a size small in accordance with my bust measurement, the ‘short’ version with the ‘short’ sleeves. It’s the perfect summer length for my 5 ft3 frame.
It is an oversized pattern so definitely size down if you are in between sizes.
The Lahja instructions are clear and easy to follow. I made this up in no time at all. It’s a great beginner pattern.

This is the first garment I have seen in over 30 years. I chose something quite simple to get me started again. I found the convenience of the pdf pattern good in theory but did not enjoy printing it all out and sticking it together. I also noticed that the pattern did not meet correctly at the shoulders, but think this was the printing process. The sizing is also a bit deceptive. The smallest size has a bust size of 42” which was a good size for me but one the pattern was cut it was very narrow around the waist and legs. I made adjustments and managed to produce something I am very happy with. I would use pdf patterns again for the cost and the convenience. My husband has asked for one now so it’s on my list, a very long list.

This was my 2nd make of the Lahja (first was for my husband). This time I made the Women's version (shorter) - size Women's large. For some reason the layout of the pieces on the fabric was very tight and I had a real struggle to get it out of the fabric I had bought but managed it in the end. However I discovered that the collar piece wasn't as long as needed to go round the collar of the dressing gown so I had to make the dressing gown shorter by about 4cm. If I make it again I will check the pattern pieces together (the long version that I made did not have this problem). Same challenge with the stitch in the ditch on the outer collar not catching all the fabric inside so I had to redo several pieces having used wonder tape to keep the fabric in place. I didn't interface the belt or the collar this time as the fabric is lightweight and I wanted a more drapey kimono type effect.
