DIY TWO PIECE + PATTERN REVIEW

HELLO DARLINGS! I am getting so excited about my trip to NY. I have been trying to get some travel sewing done and hopefully can post pics of those pieces next week. This two piece is from two different patterns. My top is SIMPLICITY 8128 and my skirt is  NEW LOOK 6456 both pattern reviews are below.

The fabric is a really great Linen polka dot print I got from THE FABRIC STORE 136 S. La Brea Ave, LA California 90036 – Ph: (323) 931-8300 la@thefabricstoreusa.com

Top Pattern Description: SIMPLICITY 8128

Pattern Sizing: I cut the 8

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? Yes, I was going to make the skirt and top from this pattern but I didn’t have enough fabric so instead I picked the NEW LOOK pattern for my skirt.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love the look of the top, the ties in the back, the wide hem, the crop version 😉

Fabric Used: Linen

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I didn’t make any changes to this pattern

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? YES

Skirt Pattern Description: NEW LOOK 6456

Pattern Sizing: I cut the 8

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? Yes, this skirt is so fun to make. It’s clear to understand and came together quickly.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love the pocket, the wrap, the length and the ties.

Fabric Used: Linen

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I didn’t make any changes to this pattern

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? YES
