    Best Dressmaking Blogs

    Dresses· Roundup· Women

    11 Sep

    Everyone, I am so excited to share with you that I made the list of Best Dressmaking Blogs from All Free Sewing! I honestly just started sewing a few years ago so making a list like this is a nice treat! If you are looking for a DIY dress to make for yourself or a loved one, you are sure to find one from one of these blogs. They all have free sewing patterns and or tutorials to choose from for women and little girls.

    Best Dress making blogs

    Sewing dresses can be very intimidating, especially if there are zippers, collars and darts. I still can’t quite figure out how to do the invisible zipper. It takes some really good detailed explanations and pictures be able to convey the instructions to DIY sewers. It is actually not as easy as you would think. So, kudos to all the bloggers out there that give out the patterns for free, take the time to the do exceptional pictures and package it all together so that you recreate the project.

    One of my favorite dresses I have ever made on this blog is The Brooklyn Empire Waist Girls Dress. It comes in an array of sizes can be worn throughout the year. It really makes for a great gift for that special lady in your life.

    The full list of all the blogs featured are:

    The Sewing Rabbit Blog, Melly Sews, Elle Apparel Blog, Motherhood in Style, Caroline Hulse, Merrick’s Art, Confessions of a Refashionista, Sew Much Ado, Sew Different, A Pair & A Spare, On the Cutting Floor, Bonnie and Blithe, The Stitching Scientist

    Here are my favorite dresses from each of the blogs featured:

    Trapeze DIY Tank Dress from The Sewing Rabbit

    This will work well for the summer day at the beach or just lounging at home. It looks like it would be easy for a beginner to do as well.
