Dear Sewing Superstar,
I confess: I love a summer dress. Actually, I love dresses year-round. My style is comfy and flowy—and sometimes sparkly. When I first started sewing, dresses intimidated me. Too hard. Too complicated. Too much for a beginner. Know what? I was totally wrong. We can all create our own comfortable, lovely, flattering dresses—even as beginners. Get ready to look great in your own creation!
It’s never too late to sew up a summer sundress. Our Savannah Button-Down Sundress is a classic summer look—timeless, stylish, and totally within the skill set of advanced beginner sewists. This dress will become a wardrobe staple for the summer and beyond—just add a chic shawl or cozy cardigan on top and finish it off with tights and boots and you can dance your way right into fall!
With a front button placket on this dress, you can have the opportunity to make a statement with your choice of buttons. Keep it simple and classic or go wild with color and design! Think of the button placket as your own personal palette. You’ll appreciate the princess seams on the bodice for a flattering fit, and you’ll definitely love those pockets! Denim, twill, or cotton sateen are ideal fabric choices here.
Dress it up your way
Maybe you need something a little less casual but you don’t want to break the bank doing it. Enter the Spearmint Knit Wrap Dress—perfect for the office, errands, or maybe exploring the local fabric store.
Our version is in green, but you’ll pick the color that suits you best. You’ll be happy to know that this wrap dress is secured not only by the tie closure but also by a hidden hook and eye. Pick your favorite knit fabric and you have chic made simple!
Need something a little dressier? Our Primrose Shirred Dress is perfect for your next fancy affair. This dress is classy, classic, and trendy all at once! Thick straps, a shirred bodice and tiered maxi skirt will have you feeling comfortable and looking cool all day long!
Maybe you want something a little less frilly, with leaner lines. Our High Society Party Dress features a square neckline and a flowy silhouette with a timeless feel. Just imagine the looks you can achieve with different fabrics. This could become your next favorite pattern. It’s so versatile!
Of course, we haven’t forgotten the younger set. Tailor your fabric choice to the season and make our Cute and Cozy Girls’ Dress for your favorite baby or toddler. This is a classic kid look that never gets old.
No expert sewing skills are required to make any of these lovely dresses. Each printable pattern includes a detailed template, pattern notes, and a complete list of the tools and materials you need to succeed. Start a new dress for a special occasion or just for fun! Get ready to make something new and beautiful!
