If at first you don’t succeed, TRY, try again. “William Hickson”
I am on a mission this year and I promise myself to cut from more patterns. I have been sewing skirts for over a year and a half and really don’t need a formal pattern to create one. I have made all styles all variations and I have been running away from patterns. I did cut my second pattern for my daughter when I tested the Mingo and Grace Blake dress pattern for tween size 6-14 seen here.
I have been shopping for fabric and patterns to create spring pieces for Arielle and came across this beautiful African print. I knew exactly what I wanted to create and was on a mission to create the Mingo and Grace Crop top set pattern. 2715.
I opted to create a sleeveless version instead VIEW B. I was pretty happy with the results except a few minor hiccups with the button hole. Check out my first version VIEW A here that I created last year and was proud. I wanted to correct my mistake and cut the armpit area PERFECT as my very first attempt of making it was snugged.
The GREAT news is that my daughter loves it and I can’t be happier with the results. I completed another SLEEVELESS version from a different fabric VIEW C sleeveless and that finish was amazing as well. I am still contemplating if I should make a shorts or a maxi skirt. I can’t wait to get started on another pattern cutting venture.
Hope you enjoyed all the pictures. We can’t wait to wear it when we go on our NEXT vacation to Jamaica. Thanks for stopping by and I promise I will get back to regular blogging programming.
