I do make a lot of items from patterns and I thought...why not share those garments with my audience as well? For my first review I thought it would great to take you all back in time...TWICE!
I made this little number when I was about 12 years old. It was my first unassisted sewing project and I made it for my little cousin who kept it all these years and decided to give it back to me when she was an adult. This is vintage 1970s Butterick pattern 4733 for girls.
Pattern: Vintage 1970s Butterick 4733 View A
Description: Loose-fitting top with iron on transfer and blanket stitch embroidery
Fabric Used: Since I made this at 12...I can only guess by looking at the top that I used a light weight cotton blend.
Sizing: Pattern only came in girls size 14 which fit my cousin perfectly!
Instructions: If a 12 year can do it....it has to be easy to follow!
Changes: I did make one minor change. I hand stitched my cousin's initials on the front pockets!
Level of Difficulty: As the pattern says, this one was fast and easy!
Timing: I remember making this in my bedroom in one sitting. So I am guessing this took me about 1-2 hours tops.
Overall, I loved this pattern and remembered feeling very accomplished as a preteen making this. My little cousin loved it so much she kept it all these years in fantastic shape.
