Friday pattern pick
Friday, September 12th, 2014
This week’s pattern pick is a pretty classy little number – Butterick B6066, part of their lifestyle range.
I bought this a few weeks ago and it’s next on my ‘to do’ list. I love a good peplum, which is what drew me to this pattern in the first place. I’m going to make top A, which is the pink version on the picture. I find peplums hide a multitude of sins (muffin top being my ‘must hide’ feature!) and think this one in particular looks rather funky, particularly as it doesn’t go all the way round the top.
The pattern is designed for light to medium weight woven or knit fabric so that gives a whole heap of material to choose from. Mine will be made in a lovely red, medium weight crepe I bought especially for it – it’s ever so slightly stretchy. The top has a fitted bodice with princess seams and a back zipper. One thing I really like about this pattern is the sizing. It caters for different cup sizes – A/B, C and D and I’m hopeful that will ensure it fits nice and snug. It has seven pieces to deal with, but a quick read of the (very clear) instructions reassures me that it’s not too onerous although I probably wouldn’t recommend it for beginners.
A very useful sewing site
