Great set for beginners

I have made about four Saguaro sets so I think I have a good idea about how easy this pattern is to sew. It takes about 2.5 hours for the top and 3 hours for the bottom for me making it my go-to for a co-ord. This pattern isn’t for everyone, however, since the top is cut so low you’ll probably need to adjust it if you want to be more modest. But that’s an easy alteration since the pattern is just a straight line.

Also, if you’re making the top in linen I suggest cutting the top ties on the bias to make them lay better. It made a big difference for me!

I also like mixing and matching the saguaro top with different bottoms like the pomona pants (in the pic) and the peppermint pocket skirt. For more pics check out my instagram: @made_by_madeleine.claire
