My First O + S pattern!

I just finished my first try at Oliver + S. I made two coordinating jumpers for my two daughters.

I've admired the pattern for years, but I only recently took the plunge and bought a few. I am mostly happy with how they turned out. I was very careful with my measurements, but the dresses fit like a glove and I was hoping for a little more room to grow. Lesson learned. I am also super proud with my first buttonholes on a garment. I am less proud about how I can see the transfer lines in yellow wax showing through the fabric if I look closely. Lesson learned there as well!


Overall, this was a very satisfying project and I can't wait to make more. However, it is slightly cost prohibitive. There are so many wonderful fabrics out there, but they are all so expensive! How do you all do it???
