Free Sewing pattern: Simple jersey dress for a little girl

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.
