I am getting ready to go on vacation and I really needed some casual clothes lol. This is my kinda casual lol. So the next few posts will be my new vacation wardrobe :-)
Pattern Description:
MISSES' PANTS AND BELT
Pattern Sizing:
8-14
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?
Loved the pattern once I finished the pants.
Fabric Used:
Linen
Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made:
Instead of using cording I made self fabric ties.
Would you sew it again?
YES! This will become a TNT.
Would you recommend it to others?
I HIGHLY recommend this pattern!
Here is a back view:
A picture of the waist band:
Conclusion:
This was a great pattern! SOMEONE calls them my 12 hour pants because it literally took me ALL day, ripping THREE times to get it right lol. I was having a moment where front and back both looked the same lol. I like that when I put my wedges on they just graze the floor. Winner in my book :-)
Pattern Description:
Misses Tops With Trim Variation: Separate Patterns For B,C,D Cup Sizes
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?
I hardly looked at them.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I loved this pattern!! The neckline is what made me want it lol
Fabric Used:
Linen
Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made:
I cut the front and back on the fold and omitted the back neck opening. When I did my tissue fitting, I realized I could get it over my head without it. Instead of using bias tape I used a lace hem tape on the inside. Just looks a little prettier :-)
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I doubt if will make this one again but I highly recommend it!
Conclusion:
Super cute and casual top!
That's it for me guys!!! Gotta get back on the machine! LOL
Toodles!
Really cute top!!
