Sewing Pattern : Village Green Sundress for little girls

Heidi from Elegance & Elephants shows how to make a little girl’s sundress. She calls it her Village Green Sundress, the name derived from the fabric she used on the bodice. She uses the bodice from her Pleated Playsuit (free download, she gives a link in her tutorial) but makes it with a skirt instead of shorts or pants at the bottom. Her tutorial is part of the 30 Days of Sundresses series hosted by Melly Sews. Go to her blog for the how-to.
