Butterick 5260......Fast and Easy

Yes another butterick pattern.... guess I am falling in love with the B patterns..... The pattern says it all Fast and Easy...... but they forgot to add Comfy..... B5260.


Here is my review

The back

The fun part... I love the neck

How I raised the neck by 1"

Fabric: Moderately stretched fabric.

Pattern Description: A-line, pull over tunics A, C or above mid-knee dress.

Pattern Sizing: Lrg- Xlg-XxL... I cut large and reduced it to medium because I didn`t see medium size when I wanted to buy this pattern.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Absolutely.

Were the instructions easy to follow: Super easy, I glanced through it once and violaaaa...


Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: As usual, I love my girls to be at their rightful places, so........

I raised the neck by 1"I lengthened the sleeve and bodice by 2"

I removed about 2" at the bust areas because I didn`t want to do the gathering, I just wanted the neck to lie flat on my chest........ Do I love this little alteration? Absolutely

I also graded up from medium to large at the hip


What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?  I love the neck and the A-line style of the pattern... Nothing to dislike at all.


Would you recommend it to others? Yes, but I think this pattern will work nicely with moderately stretched knit


Conclusion: I am loving it..... This is one fast pattern to try if you want to jump start your mojo, instant gratification. It took me less than 3 hour from start to finish, including the alteration, the sewing, the serging and the finishing................super easy

 Till next time, you all have a wonderful week....
