I saw this fabric in the shop and immediately fell in love with it so I bought it right away. I went home and did a quick search for the perfect outfit to make with it and found Mccalls 5416. Originally I was going to make a reversible dress but when I asked my little one if she wanted an outfit with a pair of shorts or a dress she said outfit and shorts. I love making her happy so I spent all of yesterday making it for her. The pattern is pretty easy. The only things I did differently was fully lining it because it gives a cleaner finish. It did take me a while to figure out the shorts because this was my first time making shorts or anything pant like. Overall I love the result and definitely plan on using it again.<\/p>\n

\"Purple\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I also had these pretty flower wooden buttons that went perfectly with the whole things. I think I got over my fear of button holes. I did make 3 practice button holes on scraps just to make sure I was ready.<\/p>\n

The little one is happy too, she didn’t want to take it off last night and wanted to sleep in it. I got the pattern from SewingPatterns.com . I totally love them, the site needs to be improved a lot but the service is just awesome, you can buy the pattern and get the printable pdf right away. You can also choose to get the PDF in either letter, ledger, A4 or A3 format which is perfect because my husband has an A3 printer. I’ve been trying to convince him that he needs an A0 printer but he isn’t sold on the idea yet. Just imagine printing a pattern on a single sheet. I also think I need a cutting mat and a rotary cutter. Any suggestions?<\/p>\n
