sweet pea
Posted in finished objects, sewing on Jun 2nd, 2004
This is modified Butterick 4173. I changed the pants so they have no side seams (as described in KSSFK), as to not interrupt the border print. I also used a bias facing (from instructions in Sew Beautiful Magazine) instead of the standard facing. I really like the bias facing, IMO it looks more professional. The length of the top was cut between the pattern’s top and dress lengths.
The fabric is from Daisy Kingdom, a border print and a co-coordinating all over print. I used the large border print along the hem on the pants and used the small border from the other selvage as the ruffle on the top.
