Free pattern: Ciao Bella peasant dress for little girls

by

ciaobellaEllie Inspired shares a free pattern for their Ciao Bella dress for a little girl.  It’s a peasant style dress that can be made with our without rows of ruffles on the skirt.  It’s shown here made from an eyelet with a decorative border.  The arms and the bodice are made from rectangles of fabric, with an armhole shape cut out of them.  The pattern they give is actually the negative space – the shape you’ll cut out of the rectangles.  The pattern comes in sizes 1 – 6.  Go to their free pattern.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
