Ice Cream Dress

The Ice Cream Dress pattern allows your customers to create a stylish, loose-fitting pull-on smock dress or blouse. 

All three views included in the pattern feature an  interesting one-piece V-notch yoke on the front and a button loop closure at the back neck. 

View A (pictured here) includes a double-thickness hem and matching pockets. We've made several dresses in this view using a variety of colors and prints, and we've been very happy with how they've all turned out. We'll show you more images of this view on the blog shortly.

View B is a color-blocked dress of the same style. When we first made this view during the product development process, we chose brown, pink, and white solids. The resulting dress reminded us of a cool bowl of Neapolitan ice cream, which in turn inspired the name for the dress.

View C is a blouse-length version that pairs nicely with a skirt or shorts during warm summer months. 

For this pattern we are suggesting the use of light- to medium-weight wovens such as quilting cotton, broadcloth, lawn, shirting, poplin, fine-wale corduroy, silk taffeta or dupioni, and linen.

We've rated this pattern as two of four scissors on our scale of difficulty. It goes together quickly and is a pleasure to sew. 

Sketchbook Shirt and Shorts

With the Sketchbook Shirt and Shorts pattern, your customers can make a classic summer outfit for their  boys or girls. We're sure that they will make great use of this shirt pattern for school, play, or more formal occasions.

View A, the classic version of a child's shirt, includes a one-piece collar, long sleeves with cuffs, and a chest pocket. 

View B provides flexibility for doing other variations on the shirt. This view features a  band collar and short sleeves. Both styles include a button front placket and a shirt-tail hem. 

The simple below-the-knee length shorts feature an elastic-waistband and mock fly for classic styling without the need for a zipper fly. 

For this pattern, which is also rated as two of four scissors in difficulty, we suggest light- to medium-weight woven fabrics like quilting cotton, broadcloth, lawn, shirting, poplin, fine-wale corduroy, and linen for the shirt. For the shorts we recommend light- to medium-weight woven fabrics like denim, canvas, chambray, corduroy, twill, and linen.

Music Class Blouse and Skirt

The Music Class Blouse and Skirt is a clean, simple, and sophisticated outfit that's as appropriate for toddlers as it is for tweens.

The blouse features delicate pintucks at the front and back yoke and a button- or snap-closure front placket. 

View A of the blouse includes sweet little pleated short sleeves and a classic blouse collar. View B has a band collar and long sleeves with cuffs. Your customers can mix and match collars and sleeve lengths for even more options.

The pull-on, elastic-waist skirt includes side panels with unusual pockets and a pleated hem insert.

For this outfit (which is another two scissors pattern), we suggest light- to medium-weight woven fabrics like quilting cotton, broadcloth, lawn, shirting, poplin, and linen for the shirt. For the skirt we recommend light- to medium-weight woven fabrics like quilting cotton, broadcloth, poplin, fine-wale corduroy, twill, denim, chambray, and linen.
