Butterick 5585, Sewing an infant sweater

This is Butterick Pattern 5585. I added an eyelet trim to the sleeves.

I also decided to make my own facing. The pattern has a self facing, but the fabric I used was thick, so to use the self facing would have made it really difficult to sew the buttonholes.

Sewing Dresses for Easter

These are dresses and sweaters I sewed to donate for Easter.

McCalls 6018

 

 

 

 

I made this sweater using McCalls 6018. I used an interlock knit (found on the value table) purchased from Hancock Fabrics.

Butterick 5980

 

 

This is Butterick pattern 5980. It is fully lined. I chose to make this using Tutti Frutti fabric I purchased from Joanne Fabrics. I did add some color around the neckline using purchased flowers.

McCalls 6018

 

I wanted a sweater to complement the dress you see in the pic below. I could not find a sweater pattern, so I went with McCalls 6018. Actually, the shrug was perfect for this dress because it does not cover the tie in the back.
