Sewing Pattern Tutorial: Perfect knit play dress for little girls

Tutorial: Perfect knit play dress for little girls

Melissa from Sew Like My Mom created the perfect knit play dress for her daughter, and she shares a free pattern for it with her readers. It’s a sleeveless dress with a simple round neck and high waist. You can bind the neck and arm holes with a contrast fabric, like she did with the stripes in the dress you see in this photo. Her free pattern comes in a little girls size 3. If you need another size, you could adjust up or down using a top that fits your child to gauge size. Or, a full pattern will be available for sale soon that will have a full size range and sleeve options.

Her free pattern is part of the 30 Days of Sundresses series hosted by Melly Sews.
