Miss Mary Mack

All dressed in… Good Folks? Much better than black if you ask me. I did manage to throw on a silver button though.

My little Mack turned 6 last week and it seemed only fair that if I’m going to be making things for all her cousins she should have one to, especially for her birthday.

I used Butterick B4118 view A for the basic shape (because figuring out sleeves stinks) but I know this pattern is not as full as I like so I cut it out one size bigger and used my own seam allowance. I just extended the length to make it a dress- easy!

I had a few questions that I forgot to answer before I accidently deleted all my mail so I thought I’d answer them here for the good of all. There were more than that but some were duplicates so I think this should cover it.

Can you tell us where to get the pattern for this skirt? it is uber cute!

A: Thanks, I made the skirts by looking at a picture I saved a few years ago and winging it so no pattern. Sorry! But if you want to buy one or try to wing it yourself I was inspired by a Matilda Jane skirt kind of like this one.

I think they are super cute! How did you do the inside of the leg or were the pants already lined? Regardless they are adorable!

A: I cut the jeans off where I wanted them and opened up the outside seam on the legs by a few inches. I pinned a strip of fabric to the jeans right sides together and sewed up and around and then turned it so it’s just lined for a few inches on the inside and it kind of made it’s own vent that way. Hope that makes sense. I wish I would have skipped the top stitching I did though.

Back into the trenches for today. This lemon lime popcorn isn’t going to eat itself ;).
