My little girl has a thing for dresses at the moment. She basically has to wear one every day. Scouring etsy for some suitable patterns I came across a home grown (aussie) designer Toni and make it perfect patterns. Here is her etsy store and her blog.
I bought the pinny and fancy pants patterns.
I have already made a pinny out of some cotton scraps and it is a hit. She asks to wear “the dress you made me” often. I am not a big fan of the colours on her but have big plans to make a few more.
This one is a size 4 thinking that I needed it to be bigger to fit over jumpers and jeans but I think that a size 3 would have been fine.
The pattern is well written and easy to make. It is designed to use cotton quilting fabrics. The smaller sizes (<3) could easily be made from fat quarters.
Have you come across any other good little dress patterns?
I have seen some great Japanese craft books on other blogs that had lots of girls dresses but will have to some more research.
Gorgeous! The gathers look great (and tricky)! Are you sure that it’s easy to make?
it look soooo cute donna! thanks for sharing…can’t wait to see your next creations
