Free pattern: Easy Cross Back Summer Dress for toddler girls

Sewing Mama RaeAnna shares a free pattern at The Sewing Rabbit for making her Easy Cross Back Summer Dress for a toddler girl. The shape of this dress gives great flexibility in sizing and in style. With straps that cross over at the back and tie at the waist, the fit is easily adjustable as your child grows. And you can vary the length of the skirt to make it a top, tunic, or dress. She gives a free pattern to make this dress in a size 2T, but she also gives directions to make your own pattern based on your child’s measurements. Go to The Sewing Rabbit to find her pattern and tutorial.
