1. Graffiti Dress
The length of this circle skirt can be shortened or lengthened depending on your preference. There’s also an option for a contrast waist band. If you get stuck while you’re making the dress, check out the how-to video that the designer made.

2. Striped Maxi Dress
This pattern is perfect for sewers who want to give knits a try. If buying knit fabric isn’t in your budget right now, the designer also suggests using a jersey bed sheet as an alternative. See our tricks for sewing with knits if you’re sewing with knits for the first time.

3. Mom’s Raglan Dress
It’s hard to be comfortable while also looking dress up, but this raglan dress pulls it off nicely. I love the sample dress’s combination of striped bodice and floral sleeves! Dig through your scraps and see what kind of fun pattern combinations you can come up with.

4. Brief Encounter Knit Dress
A breezy bodice with a circle skirt sewn in a knit fabric is no doubt a recipe for comfort. Add a belt for just a bit of extra embellishment, like the sample above. There’s also a full video tutorial to walk you through each step in case you get stuck.

5. Colorblock V-Neck Dress
Here’s another knit that will gladly help you get rid of those knit fabric scraps. Feeling adventurous? You could even add a colorblock border around the hem.

How do you get the pattern??
Hello, sorry but we are no longer offering or selling patterns. Thanks!
This page should be removed. Disappointing to read all the way through and then find out it’s no longer available…
you may be able to go directly to the website and find the pattern there. I did see a couple patterns by So-Sew-Easy.com. I know those patterns are available on the website. May be the same for the rest.
