Amy Butler pattern questions
on: March 09, 2009, 09:31:58 AM
I just purchased Cabo Halter and Domestic Goddess Aprons patterns.
Anyone here have experience making either of these patterns?
I'm not new at sewing, but probably a bit rusty over the years of not sewing garments.
Are these patterns pretty straight forward? Any quirks, tips, etc. you've come across??
Thanks in advance.

Here's a couple links to some different AB pattern reviews from the blog:

You may want to take a look for some tips and suggestions. Overall, I think Amy Butler patterns are very well written with easy to understand instructions and helpful pictures. I would recommend her patterns to any level of sewer. Have fun!

I just bought the cabo halter too. While I haven't done it yet, I did make the Lotus tunic and it was VERY easy to follow. This was one of the first things I had made and I was very happy with how detailed and thorough it was.

I made the Cabo Halter a little over a month ago. In my opinion it was pretty easy! It was actually my first attempt at making clothing, I've sewn a lot but clothing always has intimidated me.
The instructions were clear, the pattern pieces were easy to work with. I had no problems! It turned out really cute, too. :-)
Enjoy!

Good post! Although I've made a few of Amy Butler's things I've put of the Cabo Halter and Lotus Tunic because I'm too intimidated by making clothes. Since a few others say they're easy I think I'll give them a whirl this spring.
