Still sewing for my vacation lol. I have a couple more things to sew and I will be DONE.
I don't have a choice
since we leave next week lol.
New Look 6470
Pattern Description: Misses' Skirt and Knit Tops
Pattern Sizing: 8-18
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes
Were the instructions easy to follow? I didn't even need them. This top is TWO pieces lol.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love this top and can seriously see myself making a few more lol
Fabric Used: Jersey
Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: none
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I will def make this one again. I love this top. I HIGHLY recommend it!!!
McCall's 5632
Pattern Description:
MISSES' PANTS AND BELT
Pattern Sizing:
12-20
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? yes
Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I didn't realize how high the waist was on this pattern. It really didn't look like it did on the pattern envelope. I should have checked the reviews first.
Fabric Used: Cotton Linen blend
Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made:
I shortened the length on them so that they were more flattering on me.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I doubt if I make these again, but they are very well drafted, so I do recommend them.
Here are some additional pics:
I am loving adding that little splash of color to the pockets lol.
That's all I have LOL. Y'all have a great day!
Toodles!
Your closet must be BURSTING! ;)
Do I get a prize for being the 1st poster? :)

Love the top. The color is great on you. I like the pants. The lining is so fun. A vacation of just sewing sounds wonderful but don't think my husband would love it.

Red is my fav so you know I'm loving this. The fit on this top is great too because I have had tops like this before and they didn't fit well at all!!. Love the pockets on the pants too.
