Free pattern: Skirted sweatshirt dress

This sweatshirt dress gives the look of paired separates but it’s actually all a one piece outfit. So smart for dressing small kids, don’t you think? Not only is it just one over-the-head piece to put on but it also guarantees that the outfit will be coordinated. Jessica from Happy Together shares a free pattern for making one. Her free pattern comes in sizes 18 months – 8 years
