Butterick B5555

Butterick B5555 - A Pajama Top



Pattern Description: 

Misses Top, Tunic, Dress and Belt: Pullover, Loose Fitting top A, Tunic B, Dress C have front gathers, self faced front yoke, stand up collar, gathered three-quarter length sleeves with sleeve bands, stitched hems and self belt.

Pattern Sizing:
18 - 24 I cut the 20

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? 
Yes it did although it could be a few inches longer

Were the instructions easy to follow? 
The instructions are SUPER easy and this is a quick project. about 2 hours from Cut to last press. This is a great pattern for a Beginner

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I like how easy it is and how fast it is

Fabric Used:
A Blue & White linen from Joann's Red Tag Table 3 years ago.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:

I made no alterations- My point was to make this as a night shirt to wear with White rayon knit yoga pants (My sisters Pajamas) The look is fabulous and in the summer this lounge wear will be very cool.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?

I might give the tunic a try in a print or plain. Although on me this top gives a bit of maternity look to it
Conclusion: 

This is a very fast and fun shirt to make with a little imagination you can do a lot with this pattern.
