1995 Butterick 4108


Ah, well this is a pattern that I'm using to do the pattern review contest. I had a hard time finding a photo of this one (my scanner with my printer is not working). I'm making version B. I wish there was an easier way to do the shoulder seams. This is a bugger for me to sew!


Is there an easier way to do this, when you have a self fabric interfacing?

Pattern Review....sewing enabler....





So....my friend Izzie, enables me in sewing. She told me about the new pattern review challenge. Make four pieces that totally match from Nov 1 to Dec 31.

Well I had all these cordoroy's that I'm to make for toddler Grace. Here is what I'll attempt to make.

  • Sew Baby's Reversible Dress - Patchwork pink/brown cord with red plum cord on the reversible side
  • Kwik Sew Master Pattern - Toddler Pant w/cuff - Brown cord pant with patchwork cord cuff (if there is enough fabric)
  • Vintage Simplicity 7017 Dress - View A- Green Cord Dress/Jumper
  • Butterick 4173 - Ruffle Pant - Green Cord

and if I have time....



And if I have time, I have some other coordinating colors.
