We love this pretty dress, the fabric and the style. It can be difficult to sew clothes, we won’t deny it, because fitting can sometimes be a challenge. Especially with children – they grow so fast that if the fit was a little too snug, in no time, it will be too tight and can’t be worn again. However, a lot of these issues are not a problem with this easy dress pattern. Although it’s designed for a woven (non-stretch) fabric, it has many of the benefits of a knit dress.

No more calls of ‘mommy’ all day and running up and down stairs!

Here are some wonderfully pretty bloomers for your baby where the designer has produced a digital sewing pattern that is FREE to download. She has actually produced two versions of the silk bloomers. There is the ruched version, which gives a cute little ruffle effect at the leg cuffs and waistband. Or the plain version, which isn’t ruffled or ruched. To make the plain version, just modify the pattern a little by cutting off the flare and make the casing on the bottom edge of the shorts instead of 1/2″ up.

There is nothing more lovely than baby˙s clothing. Those tiny, adorable pieces of clothes that keep your baby warm and cosy.

They will give your little one all the room they need to kick, wriggle and squirm about.

Well isn’t this dress a real beauty and after three years of selling the pattern, the designer decided to offer it for FREE. The Knot Dress was one of the very first sewing patterns that she designed and has since been revised and updated. It has no zipper or button closures, but has ties at the shoulders, back, and skirt, which makes it a super easy pattern to sew and a perfect project for a beginner sewer. Because of the ties, the fitting can be very forgiving, ideal for those who are new to sewing clothes.

Sewing clothing can be tricky, especially trying to fit on wriggly babies and children, but even the newest sewer can make a great baby hat that fits. This soft baby hat is made out of soft knit fabric and comes with a fitted top and a cuff that can be rolled up for more cuteness! The baby hat pattern can be made with an interlock knit, jersey knit, or even rib knit (although rib knit is more stretchy so you would probably want to downsize if you picked this type of fabric). This beautiful and easy baby hat pattern comes to you completely free and will sew up SO quickly.
