Butterick 5997 Red-Blue Plaid

Butterick 5997 is one of those sleeper patterns, the front of the envelope isn't going to sell many patterns but let me tell you this is a good one!

I made this pattern once before, July 2015 and I do believe the fabric might have been from my first ever Style Maker Fabrics!  I love this blouse and wear it quite a bit but never made it again.  In fact, I am not sure what happened to the pattern.  I think it might have gotten lost during our remodel.  

Thanks to Emily Hallman and her Fancy Fridays, I was reminded of this pattern and ordered it again.

My fabric is linen, it doesn't look like a traditional linen pattern.  The plaid and the colors remind me of fall, so I am wearing it now.  Here is the fabric at Mood Fabrics.

My changes:
  • The cuffs and pockets are cut on the diagonal
  • I cut the under collar on the bias and added a center seam.
  • I shortened the top, the tunic length doesn't look right on me
  • I should of lengthened the sleeves, so I used a smaller seam allowance on the cuffs.  That helped.
Here is the under collar

Heading out for the day, I put on a long (purchased) sweater with my new JCrew jeans!

I used some chambray for the seam finish, sorry for the poor photo quality.

  3. After losing $60k to this binary crypto investment in 2022, I didn’t think I’d ever trust any form of crypto investment platform again. Luckily for me I was able to recover the funds through this incredible Hacker Steve who understands everything about the blockchain network. It was an emotional moment for me but Hacker Steve literally saved my life. He was able to pull back all my transactions. I would advise anyone in the same situation to not panic cuz digital assets can be recovered. Other assets such as stolen funds, stolen credit, lost crypto, etc. Contact Hacker Steve on Gmail: hackersteve911@gmail.com
