Sale! Original price was: £18.00.Current price is: £10.00.

Bella is a mini-me kids summer dress based on the adult pattern Cassie dress. A t-shirt style bodice attached to gathered skirt layers gives a full, flowy effect for little girls. Chuck on some sandals and you’re ready for the beach or a trip to the park. The children’s dress can also be made with tie straps for a more traditional summery sundress feel. Or you can always team the t-shirt version with a cardigan and leggings for the colder months. This pattern is suitable for beginners – it features no darts or closures making it super quick!

The Bella pattern comes in ages 3 to 12.

AMELIE DRESS | DRESSMAKING PATTERN | FOR BEGINNERS | CHILDRENS | KIDS
Sale! Original price was: £18.00.Current price is: £10.00.

The Amelie dress is a gorgeous little girl’s dress that features either three quarter length sleeves or a sleeveless bodice, attached to a full, gathered skirt. Ideal for parties, as a special occasion dress, maybe even as a bridesmaid dress, the Amelie is every little girl’s dream for twirling around in. Another great design for summer and winter, you can dress it up or down, maybe even shorten the skirt length to make it more like a skater dress. Clair wanted a slightly different take on the classic little girl’s dress and was inspired by an actual Amelie to create this design. Take a look at the original muse in her own version of the dress, ready for a party or a day out.

This pattern features a gathered skirt and optional button holes – you can attach poppers instead to close up the back. A relatively simple pattern, the Amelie dress is a good next step on for a beginner sewist.

The Amelie Dress Pattern comes in sizes age 1 – 6.

IRIS TOP | DRESSMAKING PATTERN | FOR BEGINNERS
Sale! Original price was: £18.00.Current price is: £10.00.

Iris is a casual top that features three quarter length sleeves, a ruffle at the shoulder and split side hems. Easy to sew, with only two long darts from neck to bust, the pattern also includes an option for a full flutter sleeve, giving a summery feel. Alternatively, why not leave off the sleeves altogether and bind your hems for a simple cami top?

Iris is the perfect blend of simple design with interesting detail – that ruffle and the side split are just crying out for some attention. Great with jeans, skirts or shorts in the summer, this is a hugely versatile blouse that can be dressed up or down to suit your mood or the fabric you choose. Light-weight cotton is perfect for beginners or those new to sewing, but if you fancy a slightly more luxurious feel then go for lawn, sateen or even silk.

DOMINIQUE | TILLY AND THE BUTTONS | DRESSMAKING PATTERN | SKIRT | BEGINNERS
Sale! Original price was: £18.00.Current price is: £10.00.

Sew your own Dominique skirts – the ideal project for a novice stitcher, or a satisfying one hour make for more experienced dressmakers.

We designed the straight skirt to be super simple for beginners. It features straight seams to practise your stitching and an elasticated waistband for an easy fit – with no fiddly zips or buttonholes! Choose from knee length or above-the-knee hemline, and add the optional turnover top patch pockets.

The flared version of the skirt is slightly more challenging, as it’s cut on the bias and we suggest a drapier fabric for a flowing silhouette. Choose from knee length or on-trend midi hemline, with optional turnover top pockets, belt loops and elegant sash.

Like all Tilly and the Buttons sewing patterns, Dominique includes instructions in plain English, helpful sewing tips, and colour photos showing you each step – making it easy for you to create gorgeous clothes you can be proud to say you made yourself.

To make this project you will need (all sizes)
Fabric – Straight skirt with pockets: 1.1m x 150cm wide / 1.5m x 115cm wide
Fabric – Flared midi skirt with sash: 2.5m x 150cm wide OR 3.3m x 115cm wide
Matching thread
Your waist measurement in 25mm (1in) wide elastic
Large safety pin
For optional belt loops: 14cm (5 1/2in) of 4-7mm (1/8-3/8in) wide ribbon or two elasticated hairbands
