Spring Buttericks!

Butterick Spring Release


Well, let's just start out with what we love, shall we??


Line Art
Love the raglan jacket...would never do just one button though...but it gives a great opportunity for a somewhat structured, casual jacket. Okay, I don't know about that cropped top but it is dang cute.


Maybe if I meet my weight loss goal?? :)


B6016
This shape would work great for me


B6016
The butt bow? It will not work. Will not work...


B6031
B6031
'Yes. Yes please!


What do we like but will not buy??


B6021
I like the idea of this but it is intended to be lined and it takes a lot of fabric. I'm not going to make a dress that needs 4 yards of fabric. I know I wont.


B6025


I love a peplum and LOVE the pleating but I don't like the neckline and I have 3 or 4 peplum top patterns already.


B6026
Love the waistline pintucks...the neckline pintucks? Not so much


B6028
These are iffy. I bought a Vogue pattern for a tapered, casual pant. These have elastic in back. MAYBE at a $1 sale...


B6005
Cute. Just cute. And it takes like NO fabric to make tiny knit things!


The Meh:


Line Art
Not me...and look at this horrid fabric choice. Poor model


B6032
The irons must be out of service at Butterick...


And my favorite category...Repeat that Pattern!

I get it...the See & Sew patterns are only $3. If you don't have access to the cheapie sales at JoAnn and Hancock (and Hobby Lobby??) then you can get a pattern that you like for $3 versus the full price. AND I could actually see preferring to get something when there's only 1 or 2 items in the envelope (if you like them) versus an envelope full of stuff you don't need. I have seriously contemplated throwing away the pattern pieces for the "slim" and "curvy" fits of my Simplicity 2700 pants. It makes it so bulky and I will never need them.


I digress.


Definitely getting that wardrobe pattern and Gertie's nightie pattern at the next sale!
