Simplicity 8557 View A Sew Along

Hello All!

I think I found my sewjo for sewing clothes again! This is view A of Simplicity 8557. If you have been following me for a while, you know that I love a quick and easy pattern. A pattern that can be done in an hour is a must have for me. Simplicity 8557 is a Misses’ Petite Sportswear pattern, which is perfect for me because I’m only 5’2” and I always have to make adjustments. I’m happy to say that I did not have to make any adjustments! The pants (View A) have 3 pieces, the front, back, and casing. I used a scuba knit fabric that I purchased from Fine Fabrics.

Since I had such a wonderful experience sewing this pattern, I decided to record a sew along for my YouTube channel. You can check out the tutorial here. View A is part 1 of the sew along and View B will be part 2, which I will post on Saturday. Check out the pattern review below. Happy Sewing!
