Tutorial: Handkerchief hem play dress for girls

Melissa from Blank Slate Patterns and Melly Sews shows how you can make a girl’s handkerchief hem dress. It’s a pretty play dress, with a simple sleeveless bodice and a layered handkerchief skirt. She uses her Fiesta Frock pattern (free) for the bodice, but you can use any basic knit bodice pattern. The tutorial is part of her month long 30 Days of Sundresses series.
