She used Butterick 5988, Sim 8172, Sim 8134 pattern. She learned to measure twice, cut once. Her most important lesson is to always check the temperature of the iron scorched fabric is not easy to get out.
Had a hard time getting the outfit put together. Her needle kept gumming up so her friend found her a different one. The black and white top needed something to make it pop. Found some great trim at Hobby lobby to top it off.
