Free Sewing pattern: Simple jersey dress for a little girl

May 1, 2013 by Anne Weaver

You can find a free pattern for a simple jersey dress for a toddler girl over at Prudent Baby.

The pattern will make a simple sleeveless bodice that you can use to make two versions of a loose-fit sundress – one with a basic gathered skirt, and one with a tiered gathered skirt.

The tutorial shows how to include pockets in the side seams of the skirt.  The pattern is for a size 2T/3T.  If you need a different size, you could make your own by tracing around a tank top that fits your child.  Go to the pattern and tutorial.

Jersey is a knit fabric that is mostly utilized in the production of clothes. It was made of wool originally, but it is currently composed of wool, cotton, and synthetic fibers.

 

Knits of a thicker weight are simpler to work with than very lightweight knits. The most essential thing to remember while cutting jersey fabric is to avoid stretching it.

Cotton Jersey fabric is a soft, flexible fabric with a full drape that comes in a range of vivid colors. My mother always made sure that we had lovely handmade gowns to wear during the summer vacation. Even though we are all grown up, she still sews gowns for us when we need them. It’s a really particular custom that we have, and I treasure it beyond anything else.

    A useful pattern that my daughter loves as no fastening and easy to dress over a pretty top.

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.
