Wrap pants… How neat for summer wear!!
I chose the UJ top because I think it is the most fashionable and modern! I love all of them though.
I voted for the summer skirt. I have the other three patterns. Thank you for Freebie Friday. It’s the highlight of my week.
Those wrap pants made me smile. They are nearly identical to to very first real sewing I ever did (back in the 70s). Even though I almost never payed with dolls, I had to sew doll clothes (100% by hand) until my mother was convinced I was serious about wanting to sew. I made several pairs of these for my sister’s dolls. I think I got the pattern from my grandmother.
But for me this was a choice between the summer skirt and the UK top (which would look nice together, lol). I went with the skirt.
wow a tough one! love the ruffles on the skirt, granddaughter loves the wrap pants, the shirts are really great, but they were part of my very first purchases – tamed that knit fear.
The pants win. Who will get to pick out the fabric will be – never mind she just dug the cutest mint chevron out of the basket. It is good to be Nana.
