DIY One Shoulder Crop Top & Shrug! EASY TO SEW! Simplicity 9925

Hello friends!
I’m back and so happy to share more garments that I made for my vacation! My family and I went on a vacation back in July, and I was able to make 14 garments. I will post all garments as I wore them daily until all 14 makes have been posted!

In today’s post, I am sharing a THREE-piece dinner set that I made to make the set come together! This set brings together garment numbers 5, 6 & 7! If you missed garment numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4, please go back to the previous three posts! You can also watch the full detailed video of all garments by clicking here!

If you don’t know, I absolutely love animal print, so when I saw this Liverpool leopard print in the store, I had to pick it up! I absolutely love this set and it made me feel SASSY!! I used Simplicity 9925 to make the half shoulder top AND shrug (you can find that here), and I self drafted my skirt. Both patterns, (top and shrug), are super easy to make! The top only has TWO pattern pieces, and the shrug also only uses TWO pattern pieces as well. For the skirt, I also only cut out two pieces! The front and the back! Very easy breezy! Below you will find photos, and underneath the photos you will find TWO detailed typed pattern reviews. One for the top and one for the pants.

Views: There are three views to this pattern. I made views A & B, which is the top and shrug.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope? Yes, it does.
Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes, they were very easy to follow.
