Girls, Infant/Baby

Item:

Dress

Skill Level:

Beginner

Basic Skills Necessary:

• Sew a straight line
• gather fabric (but I'll show you how)

Pattern Description:

Classic peasant styling and twirly tiers great for mixing and matching your favorite fabrics. With long sleeve and short sleeve options, you'll sew it all year long! Infant sizes are scaled down so she's never buried in "too much dress". Larger sizes for walking babies add a little more twirl. See my other listings for larger sizes for girls 2 to 10.

Sewing level: Beginner

I'll show you options for finishing the neckline and sleeves to get different looks, and I provide a complete tutorial on shirring with elastic. If you prefer not to shirr - no worries! Full instructions for two other methods are included as well. Fabric requirements are given, and you'll need either elastic thread for shirring or 1/4" elastic and optional for the ruffled edge look, single-fold bias tape.

Tie Dye Diva patterns always include full-sized printable patterns that are computer drafted and color coded. DIY is great, but I don't make you draft your own patterns! Take a look at the sample pages (from a different Tie Dye Diva pattern) for an example of what is included.
