My first sewing project of the year Butterick 5498, simple, easy and stylish.
I used 1 meter leopard print knit from fabricland, wanted to make the 3/4 ” sleeve but didn’t have enough fabric so I lengthened the short sleeve by 2″, cut size 14 and lengthened the bodice by 2″. Eveything took about 3 hours from start to finish .
Here is how I wore it with my M5523 skirt yesterday…..
Conclusion: All in all a great pattern to start the year with…..Highly recommend
Wow, that is a wild pattern. Lovely top Btw! Happy 2012
