Pattern: baby strappy dress 0-3months

Baby bodice dress 0-3months

Here's the pattern its needs to be printed on a A4 sheet! the pattern has seam allowance INCLUDED! Please only use this pattern for personal use! if you use this pattern you are more than welcome to link to me :) x

Here's tutorial

Cut Peices out.

Take straps, Fold in half, sew or overlock edge.

Turn right way round. (this can be a right pain to do, I find long nose pliers helps :) you could always use ribbon instead.

Place straps in between the two front pieces (face to face)

sew along + under armpits

when sewing under armpits push straps in to middle so they don't get caught!!

Turn right way

Place the front right way round take 2 back pieces and place face to face with straps inside (see pics if you don't understand what im on about)

sew 3 sides repeat on other side

At one side make a hem about a 1cm thick

Add snaps or buttons/button holes to both sides (I added snaps/poppers)

sew the side peices face to face

Turn right way round (theres your bodice!)

I then added bias to the bottom front side only

Add skirt gathering all the way along (sorry no pic of this)

JUST MADE A QUICK TUT USING SCRAP MATERIAL TO GIVE YOU A IDEA AND HOW TO ADD THE SKIRT BIT

place the top peice bias side down

Gather the skirt piece along the inside of the top

Place other side of the bodice peice down folding under slightly and pinning all along

sew along making sure the skirt peice is tucked under

The above picture is the inside nice and neat :) (well ish i cannot sew stretchy fabric haha)

Now hem the skirt or bias all the way round!!

Thats it your DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
