Simplicity 2907

I’ve only had this fabric from Joann’s forever (or so it seemed) and I can’t remember just when I bought the pattern but apparently it is out of print now- but still available on the Simplicity website (insert snarky comment about if they ever approve my affiliate with them I could directly link).

The pattern itself was fairly straightforward- it is a mix and match set so the shirt pattern is used also for the dress & the pants and shorts share a pattern. That isn’t uncommon though.

 

Working on inserting the sleeves. I think sleeve placement is one of those things that makes Baby Jesus cry. I am happy though, only had to rip out one sleeve and redo.

Closeup of the bodice. The rick rack was an additional trim I put on. I had different buttons picked out but someone (/cough the three year old) decided that buttons are her new favorite toy! The next buttons I messed up the buttonholes & made them a touch too small (grumbles). I do like the mix of button styles though. As the photo below shows trying to find 4 matching buttons in my multitude of vintage mason jars filled with buttons is always a challenge.

The moment of trying to find 4 matching buttons that work. I may own too many single buttons.
