Hi sewing friends,
Today I'm blogging my first 2025 sewing project. I wore this pant set to an 80th birthday celebration a few weeks ago.
I wanted something easy and quick. So I choose to make something that I'd already adjusted and tested. Butterick B5101 was perfect. The fit of the wrap top was pretty good and the pants were a simple pull-on pant with a yoke.
The crinkle velvet was purchased at JoAnn's. It was so easy to sew. The crinkles ran horizontally from savage to savage. I wanted them to be vertical. So I cut off the garment pieces perpendicular to the savage. This change gave some added "fake" stretch around the body. This affect, in my opinion, gave the illusion of a slimmer, sleek body. Lol
My review of the wrap is located here on my blog.
As mentioned in my previous post, I did add a few inches to the bottom of the top. I was it to look more like a jacket.
Making the pants were as easy as making a pair of pajama pants. Easy. So, that's it on the pattern review.
Happy Sewing!
P.S.
I have a few more 2024 reviews to go.
