    Toddler Ruffle Jumper Dress with Free Pattern

    Children· Free Pattern

    2 Feb

    I have been so busy lately with my full time job, being a single parent and juggling things at home, its been difficult finding time to sew. It seems like there should be way more hours in a day. However, with Valentine’s Day coming up, I knew I had to make something special for my Mila to wear to school. Fortunately or unfortunately, with every holiday or special occasion, there is an expectation at school that Mila will come in something “mommy made”. So, here we go with another Mila inspired creation.

    val12

    I found this Red Love  Cotton Jersey fabric from Girl Charlee and just fell in love with the pattern. Inspired by love and the warmth of jersey knit, it makes for the perfect February fabric. Knowing how fast Mila grows, I wanted to make her something she could wear in the cold months and maybe still fit in during spring and early summer. This ruffled edge jumper is one of the easiest apparel projects on the blog. You can literally do this in under an hour for your little princess. The pattern comes in 3 sizes (18M, 2T and 3T). It comes with a 3 button closure at the back accented with two rows of ruffles at the neck line and one at on the bottom hem. You can accessorize with a tulle and ribbon flower, a large button or even a removal felt flower on the top side for some added beauty.

     Here is what you need:

    • 1/2 yard main knit fabric
    • 3 strips in accent knit each measuring 1″ x 60″ (this is my measurement for a 3T, you will have a some left over for the smaller sizes)
    • 3 buttons

    You can download the pattern HERE. It comes in 18M, 2T and 3T.

    Instructions for printing and cutting: Ensure the pattern is at 100%. Set the printer preference to ’tiled large multiple pages’. You should get 3 pages for the front and 3 pages for the back. Tape the pages together, place on fabric and cut 1 piece for the front on fold and 2 separate pieces for the back.

    First, you will sew the back pieces of the dress to the front of the dress at the shoulder.

    Next, fold in the neckline and around the arm about 1/4″ and sew. I did two stitches on the arms but it will look great with just one as well.

    IMG_2951 IMG_2952 IMG_2953

    Now, sew the sides all the way down.

    IMG_2954

    Fold and iron down the raw edge of the back pieces about 1/2″ and sew down 5″ from the top.

    IMG_2955 IMG_2956

    Next, sew the two back pieces right sides together with about 1/2″ seam allowance.

    IMG_2957

    Hem the bottom about 1/2″. If you dont want the ruffles, you can stop here and add some buttons at the back.

    IMG_2958

    Make ruffles with all 3 of your strips by setting you stitch length to 5, sewing down the middle and pulling one of the treads until the entire strip is ruffled.

    IMG_2960 IMG_2959

    Take one of the ruffled strips and sew all the way around the neckline in the middle of the ruffle. Repeat for the second ruffle under the first.

    IMG_2961 val2

    Take your last ruffle and sew it to the bottom of the dress using the same technique as the neckline. Add 3 buttons to the back and you are done.

    Thank you for visiting and Happy Sewing

    Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educated and entetraining, and let me let you know, you have hit the nail on the head. Your concept is excellent; the issue is something that not sufficient individuals are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my quest for something relating to this.

    I reviewed another one of these books I bought at the same time as this one and it basically is the same review. The very most of the sites featured were done in Flash, which looks real good and inspires design ideas, but is very uninteresting for a web designer like me. These books should be called "Best Flash Portfolios" it would be more realistic.

    Mary,I agree, aging is not scary--our culture has frightened people to the point that they are ready to discard anyone over 30--okay, maybe 40--but caring for our parents and grandparents is the right thing to do and if we as a culture learn to interact with those who are older as people first regardless of their age, it will go a long way in making life a lot better for all of us who are lucky to live long enough.
