Don’t be too intimidated — I personally find the Tea Party bodice curve trickier to sew than any part of the Fairy Tale. It’s just a lot of steps if you want to do all the options, collar, sleeves, sash, and tulle. But no individual step is that hard to sew, and indeed I think of the plainer versions without the extras as being one of the easier sews.

Oh wow, some sweet dresses and equally sweet little girls.

It will make a lovely music box dress – I have used lawn/voile for this pattern three times, and it makes a lovely, floaty summer…[Read more]

This is pretty too http://sewing.patternreview.com/Patterns/9786 ( but I don’t have it)

I have a Burda pattern, with a separate bolero, you may have.

http://sewing.patternreview.com/Patterns/9785 if it will work.

I do see it goes from an 11…. may be a bit big.

Hi Erin. Lawn is lovely to sew with but may I suggest you spend a little more and look for a Japanese lawn? It will have a little more body and be easier to handle.

If you are new to sewing children’s clothes, may I be so bold as to show you my tute’s for some of the O+S patterns? I go through the directions, step by step and you can email me if…[Read more]

Fixed the hyperlink, now the pattern number should take you to your intended link. (Turns out it needed the http bit.)

Fixed the hyperlink, now the pattern number should take you to your intended link… or rather, the html looks right but it’s not working, how odd. Let me try again.

Cotton lawn would be a great choice. It’s very nice to wear, presses well, and is easy to sew. Depending on the color and print, it may be opaque or it may be a bit sheer. If it is sheer, you can line the dress pretty easily. I’m sure somebody here can talk you through it when you get to that part, if it becomes an issue.

Oh, that’s a good point — the PDFs can reach a wider audience.You probably know about this shop in Islington already but I remember seeing them there, maybe they’ll have it? http://www.raystitch.co.uk/

Thanks SO much for doing this! It’s downloaded, printed, and being colored in by my daughter right now – perfect for the “I’m bored” morning she’s having today.

Thank you so much for compiling all the line drawings and sharing them, Lotta! You’re awesome!

Is that for AUS?
Thank you so much you absolute darling!

You are all welcome! I’m so happy you like it. 😀

I’ve had parts of it sitting on my computer for months and months and it didn’t feel right not to share!

I’m so surprised this one didn’t have the needed sales for another print run! This seems like everybody’s go-to fancy dress pattern.

Fantastic idea!! Can’t wait to share with the nieces {although it may be used for more “coloring”, than designing….initially}!

This is going to make such a fantastic mom/kid project, thank you! LOTTA, YOU’RE BRILLIANT!
