Tutorial: Sew a girl’s midi knit dress

Autumn from It’s Always Autumn shows how you can sew a girls’ knit midi dress – and you won’t even need a pattern! If you have a t-shirt that fits the child, you’ve got all the pattern you need. She shows how to use that t-shirt as a guide for cutting your fabrics to make the dress. The dress she makes is long sleeved with a loose bodice and elastic to gather it slightly at the waist. You can easily vary the style by changing the length of the sleeves or skirt.
