Make It- Love It- Boy Suspenders Pattern Description
Suspenders tutorial from
http://www.makeit-loveit.com/2010/05/little-boy-suspenders.html Which view and size did you make?
n/a Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes If not, why?
My version looked just like the original. Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes If not, why?
- What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
This pattern went together quickly, and it was easy to make. I don't like the exposed elastic so I would suggest covering it with extra fabric. I also don't like that there is no topstitching on the suspenders. I prefer items to be crisper, but I was afraid that my fabric would look funny topstitched. Fabric used
Merlot crepe Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend
I didn't change anything, but I would suggest the changes listed above. I used regular elastic and suspender clips for my version, and they worked great. I might even make the back adjustable for another pair. That would be better for an older boy anyways. Would you sew this pattern again?
Yes Would you recommend this pattern to others?
Yes Any additional comments
These suspenders would be great in any boy's wardrobe. My son usually just wears a polo shirt and tan pants for dressing up, but he loves these suspenders. He might dress up more often. Did you SNS what you made from this pattern? If so, add a link to your SNS here.
