Pattern Sizing:
I made the size 3-4 Shirt
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?
Very easy I think a beginner would be able to follow them.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
Disliked that the shirt was a bit boxy.
Fabric Used:
Cotton
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
The shirt was very wide so I had to take it in about an inch on both side seams. Also I used a solid yellow cotton for the under collar as I did not have enough of the rocket fabric.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Not sure I would sew this one again.
Conclusion:
My grand-son loves his new rocket shirt!
Also got in a little more knitting. Another cardi for my Grand-Daughter.
McCalls released new patterns. Here is a few of my favs.
I have not gotten in my sewing room at all this week I hoping to this weekend. I have a few patterns and fabric all ready to go. Now all I need is the time :)
Thanks for stopping by.
Your grandson looks very stylish and proud in his out-of-this-world rocket shirt! Also, the cardi you made for your granddaughter is adorable. You've been busy making cute outfits for the little ones :-)
