This is the review of my Holiday sewing. This is an easy one. Two Simplicity patterns 2758 and 2310, one outfit. DD and I decided to do a few zany pictures for this review.
Pattern Description: Vest (2310) Misses' tunic, tie belt and vest. Skirt (2758) Misses' pleated skirt in two lengths, half circle skirt and shirt.
Pattern Sizing: 6- 20. I used 10/12
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? The vest did. I omitted the pockets and length the skirt.
Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes, No problems.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Both patterns selected by DD. For me - The vest is a little too boxy.
Fabric Used: Wool blend from Hancock.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
- No changes to the vest.
- Omitted the pockets on skirt
- Length the skirt
- Added lining to the skirt
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes and yes.
Conclusion: Both patterns were quite easy to sew. A beginner could sew them with no problems.
Okay, That's it for the Holiday sewing!
Parting Shot: On Tuesday, I almost finished a Simplicity Jacket 2452A. But I didn't have enough buttons.
