Beach To School Bottoms ~The Plucky Butterfly Designs~ Pattern Review

The best kind of patterns that are available are the ones that you can use over and over and over again....the ones that have many different options and styles....the ones that are your go to patterns...the staples to your little's wardrobe....and the Beach to School Bottoms by The Plucky Butterfly Designs.

For my review I chose to do the relaxed pant length with the flounce...I wanted something a little different than the ruffles for this pair....but the next pair I make...which there will be MANY more in our future we are going to add ruffles!!! 

This pattern can be used year round...hence the name Beach to School Bottoms...you can make these in shorty short length, short length, capri length and pant length....see....it really is year round!!!! They also go from a doll size all the way up to a size 12 so not only can this patter be used year round...it can be used year after year after year!

The pattern has a wonderful fit overall...great length...great waist...great room in the bum...just perfect fit all the way around!

The pattern is very well written and includes lots of information from tips and tricks to techniques to a little silliness.... There are tables for the child's measurements, fabric requirements for each of the different styles and a table for cutting ruffles for each size. Everything in this pattern is easy to find and logically placed within the pattern.

Another must have...especially for patterns with lots of sizes....is a table that tells you which pages to print for the size you are needing...and this pattern includes that! Yay for saving my paper and my ink!!

The instructions have great detailed pictures that will help guide you to make the perfect bottoms....I find this to be very helpful for new sewists....or even for those experienced sewists that look at the pictures as opposed to reading through all of the instructions....and I know I am not the ONLY one that does that!!!!

This was my first pattern that I have used by The Plucky Butterfly Designs and I really enjoyed it! The fit was wonderful, the size options vast so it can be used for many years (because lets face it, the styles in this pattern are not going to be going out of style anytime soon), the instructions are great for a beginner who has never sewn with knits or to the experienced sewist, and these things can literally be made in 30 minutes tops! I was able to tape up the pattern, get my fabric cut, and get them sewn together in less than 30 minutes! Hands down that is just one of my favorite things about this pattern.....you know you love those quick sews just as much as I do!!!

So with that....I have no idea what you are waiting for to go grab this pattern! You can sew up some shorts for the beach...the gym...for under skirts and dress...sew up some longer shorts and pair them up with some tights and boots for the winter...make some capris and then go ahead and make a few pair of pant length for the heck of it!!!

Happy Wednesday!!!
