You Won’t Believe What I Just Did!! 🤦🏽‍♀️🤬- Simplicity 9550

As always, your skirt and top looks great on you and your idea of just wearing the back neckline as is…perfect! No one will notice and the snap weights the flap so it stays open. Good job!

[@Manecoarse]

Aww. Thank you so much! I was like, “oh, well.” Lol. 😂😂

[@colettemeyer3827]

Such a cute outfit! And perfect fabric for it!

[@Manecoarse]

Thank you so much. I had this fabric for awhile. Had no idea what to make with it, then a light bulb went off after I picked up this pattern. :)

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

That is so stinkin cute. I would've gone right by that pattern if I hadn't seen it on you. Adorable.

[@Manecoarse]

Hi, Jen. Thank you so much. I almost missed out on this pattern too. I snatched it up after realizing the pattern included skorts. 😍 lol

[@kimmielovesparis1]

Your make is so cute. Looks beautiful on you. For the back…you could make ties. But it looks adorable just as you’ve made it.

[@Manecoarse]

Thank you so very much. I think ties at the back would be so cute. Thank you so much for the suggestion.

[@marinelab]

Mega cute!

[@Manecoarse]

Thank you so much.

[@angienorman5974]

You could put topstitch some ribbons close to the snaps to camouflage them. Leave long tails and close your back neckline with a nice bow!

[@Manecoarse]

That’s a nice idea. Thank you for that.

[@SketchSewMo]

The set is adorable 🥰 🧡it’s so cute on you

[@Manecoarse]

Thank you so much. I love how comfortable it is. The fabric is so light and airy.

[@myralorraine]

Lovely outfit on you and you look so adorable! We all make mistakes so you’re in good company! You have enough comments, suggesting to fix, so no need for me to do it too! That place looks yummy and you look like you were having fun too!

[@Manecoarse]

Hi, Myra. Thank you so much. It does look like I’ll be able to fix it, which I’m so happy about. It’s crazy that the thought to fix it never crossed my mind. I’m so grateful for the sewing community, and to you for willing to offer a solution. I definitely know what I’ll do the next time I use that tool. Lol. The restaurant was a good time. I definitely enjoyed my time there. Thanks again.

[@eliamorgan5532]

Cute!

[@Manecoarse]

Thank you so much. :)

[@SewNaturalDane]

Ohhhh for your closure add a button over both snaps (unless you can safely remove one and flip it) and add a loop so you can close it. I still have yet to make this. Looks to be an easy make 😍

[@Manecoarse]

Hey!!!!! Yes. I’ve had some suggestions to add a button, a hook and eye or a thread loop. I’m so grateful for the sewing community because after my mistake I didn’t even consider adding any other closures. Thank you so much. I definitely think I can fix the opening now, and this pattern is easy with not many pattern pieces. Thanks again. :)

[@SewNaturalDane]

@@Manecoarse awesome!!!

[@carmensalome]

Its a cute summer set.

[@Manecoarse]

Thank you. I think with the way the fabric moves, it should definitely keep me cool too when wearing it.

[@robynkirwan1307]

This is so cute on you ❤and on my list to make this summer I did make the top awhile ago and my version had a tie In the back .

[@Manecoarse]

Hi, Robyn. Aww. Thank you so much. I love all the different ways that the top can be closed. A tie in the back sounds so cute. I bet your top is adorable. I want to make this again myself. More summer sewing in store for me too. :)

[@CreativiteeByT]

Very cute! I will be making that set soon. I don’t want my belly to show either so I’ll be lengthening mine.

[@Manecoarse]

Thank you. Oh, cool. I think this is going to be so cute on you.

[@perryandmichelestorkson5887]

That’s really cute on you! Nice work! I love the fabric!

[@Manecoarse]

Thank you so much. The fabric is really lightweight and moves easily, which is nice for the hot weather we’re having.

[@jmanonmakes]

Such a nice set. I didn’t realize it was shorts until now. And the back looks really cute folded over like that. Thanks for sharing.

[@Manecoarse]

Awww. Thank you so much. For the longest, I thought the bottom was just a skirt too. I was so excited when I realized the bottom included shorts. Thanks again.

[@jsd2457]

You made me want this pattern. I have to lengthen it.

[@Manecoarse]

Aww. :) That’s so cool to know. It’s a cute pattern for sure. Thank you. I understand about lengthening it. I can definitely see myself making the skorts again. I love them, and I think I can wear them with a lot of different tops.

[@LeJanaroBarnes]

I love your outfit! I have this on my list to make this summer but I don’t know if I’ll get to it.

[@Manecoarse]

Thank you so much. I can definitely relate. I have some patterns I would like to make too but not sure when or if I’ll get to them, especially some of the summer patterns.

[@bluegrassdreams2seams510]

Usually you can pry the one in wrong with a flat head screwdriver. It doesn’t take much to get it loose.

[@Manecoarse]

Didn’t know that. Thank you. That’s good to know.

[@bluegrassdreams2seams510]

@@Manecoarse I usually gently pry using corner of flat edge. Once the corner gets underneath, usually you can pull upward gripping the flathead part between thumb and index fingers and pull gently upward. Once it’s loose, use fingers to pull apart. Discard that snap piece and use new pieces. Use existing holes to reset correctly! Remember you want it correctly set😊

[@Manecoarse]

Great description. Okay. I really appreciate that. :)

[@lynetterene]

Maybe a snap on the back closure

[@lynetterene]

Oh just saw the snap....thinking of the snaps you can sew in

[@Manecoarse]

I might be able to do a hook and eye or something. It’s funny because I didn’t even think about adding another closure to the back before today.

[@cleanqueen75]

Could you put a thread loop and button or a hook and eye on the back?

[@Manecoarse]

I didn’t even think to try that. That might work. Thank you.

[@cleanqueen75]

@@Manecoarse I use that elastic that looks like string instead of a thread loop.

[@Manecoarse]

I have some of that too. I even have some in white, which would be perfect. Such a great suggestion and also the hook and eye suggestion. Never even crossed my mind one bit. Thanks again.

[@alleykatt6110]

Why not just add a button with a loop closure……

[@Manecoarse]

I didn’t even think about another closure until someone else mentioned it in the comments. I think that will actually work. Maybe even a hook and eye. Thank you.

[@specialty_k]

That’s what I was thinking!
