Happy 4th of July!!!

I have found these patterns that I am crazy about because they are incredibly fast to cut out (woo-hoo!), really fast to sew (woo-hoo!), and has a lot of cool variations.
These two patterns have the same general concept with subtle differences.

McCalls 6303
I like the side ties and pockets in this pattern.
Butterick 5625
I like the diaper cover included in this pattern.What is really fun about Grace's outfits is that the top is reversible! Check it out!
The pattern is INCREDIBLY easy to make reversible. The only thing that is tricky is how you do the shoulders. If you make the outfit continuous (a little tricky to figure out but it is possible if you take some time and have some patience), you don't need to worry about the shoulders. If you use a ribbon or tie for the shoulders, it is very easy to make the outfit reversible because the ribbons or ties close at the top of the shoulder and it does not matter which side of the garment is out. If you use buttons, you just have to put buttons on both sides of the front piece (or whichever side you attach the buttons).

Isabelle's outfit is made from the same pattern. It is not reversible because I did not have enough of the white and star fabric to do so. I love the appliqued star on their outfits!
