6689 Pattern Description
Toddler sleeveless top and dress, with shorts, capris and hat, all with ruffles. Which view and size did you make?
Views B and C (top and pants), size 3 Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes If not, why?
- Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes If not, why?
Easy instructions. The only thing I question is on the bias binding for the neckline they state to open out "both" sizes of the single fold bias and apply them. This would seem to leave a raw edge inside unless I read it wrong. I ironed open one side, stitched it right sides together to the neckline/arms, left the other folded and topstitched that part down. What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I love this style for summertime, loose comfy cotton woven. DD loves ruffles. Fabric used
Joanns cotton woven Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend
Nothing! I technically should have gone a little smaller by her chest/waist/hip measurement, but I did a straight size 3 and it came out fine with not excessive ease and room for growth through the summer. Would you sew this pattern again?
Yes Would you recommend this pattern to others?
Yes Any additional comments
