4827 - Toddler Pinafore & Blouse (1975) Pattern Description
A Carefree Patterns by McCall's from 1975 for a Toddler Pinafore and blouse (one size in the envelope) Which view and size did you make?
View C, Size 2 Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
No If not, why?
I added eyelet trim to the hem and sewed my ties on backwards so they tie at the front... Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes If not, why?
They weren't bad but I didn't follow them... What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
It was an OK pattern, sewed up quickly. But there was too much ease (as usual) in the pattern Fabric used
Quilting Cotton Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend
This pattern has nearly 4" of ease at the waist... If wearing during the spring/summer with lighter tops (or nothing) then cut the waistband shorter. Would you sew this pattern again?
No Would you recommend this pattern to others?
Yes Any additional comments
Cute Pattern, but not my favourite.
