Fabric: Cotton + Steel, Gnome Pants in Indigo Moonlit
I asked my 3 year-old daughter what this is (pointing to the pattern artwork). She answered “tooth!” So I looked up to see what this pattern really is and they are gnome pants!
I used to same Party Dress pattern from April Rhodes, but instead of circle skirt I made gathered skirt. I added invisible zipper on the back. The dress also has full bodice lining.
Fabric: Painted Stripes Woven Fabric from Craftsy
The pattern for this dress is the Party Dress by April Rhodes. I added invisible zipper on the back, upper bodice lining and french seams for the skirt.
Fabric: Petunia Garden Blended Rayon Knit Fabric in Purple
Maxi skirt with folded top and elastic inserted waist. I used this pattern.
Fabric: Cotton + Steel Tiger Stripes Fabric Collection in Pink
For this tunic I traced the pattern from an existing top. The top is a 4T size. Again, full upper bodice lining plus zipper on the back.
Fabric: Cotton + Steel Tiger Stripes Fabric Collection in Pink
My go-to pattern for my daughter’s dress and tunic. Upper bodice lining and zipper in the back.
Fabric: Cotton + Steel Mesa Lawn Sunrise Navy
I used The Party Dress pattern by April Rhodes. One of the modifications I made was adding the zipper on the back. It was an all purpose zipper but next time I’m going to try to use the invisible zipper. Also, instead of biased tape, I added an upper body lining so the waist seam is enclosed for a cleaner look.
Fabric: April Rhodes, Sacred Seeds in Mojave from the Wanderer Collection
When I decided that I want to sew clothes for myself as well as clothes for my daughter, I searched around and I found this pattern that I really like. The pattern is The Riding Peplum and Party Dress by April Rhodes. The instructions are very clear with lots of pictures which made it very easy to follow. It was my first time sewing with the biased tape. Personally, I preferred a full bodice lining because the gathered waist seam is enclosed in the lining.
Fabric: Cotton + Steel August Stampede
I love the print on this fabric. I used this pattern (my go-to pattern for my daughter’s dress and tunic). This time I chose to make a dress and decided to add the pockets. It took me a while to figure out how to do the pockets but I did it. There are many tutorials online. I found this tutorial to be very helpful.
I used this same pattern for this tunic but I modified the sleeves part to be a little shorter. Full upper bodice lining and one button closure on the back.
Fabric: Cotton + Steel Mochi Lawn Speckled Fabric Collection in Dark Plum
I originally wanted to make a cropped top for myself using this free pattern. However, it didn’t turn out the way I wanted. The length of the top was just too short. So I added the bottom part and turned it into a tunic.
