One of my best friends just had a baby...an adorable and fashionable little girl. Already at less than a month old, she has more friends on Facebook than most adults and has already rocked leg warmers. I can't wait until she is old enough for me to teach her to sew!
I knew I wanted to sew up a cute vintage-inspired outfit for her. I was having these thoughts when the lovely Katie from
'Little Dress Kits' contacted me about an amazing business she has that makes sewing for little ones so easy!
I think her business is brilliant. She puts together super easy to sew patterns for little clothes and gives you
everything you need in a sewing kit --from the pattern, to the fabric and matching thread to the cute notions...
Perhaps the most brilliant thing is that the
Little Dress Kits are made for people with all levels of sewing experience, including absolute beginners. No sewing experience necessary for their beginner kits. She walks you through every step in the detailed instructions. Plus, there is no guesswork or confusing notations on the pattern pieces. AND GET THIS....the pattern pieces are printed on sticky paper. You just peel them off the paper and stick them directly onto the fabric. No pins necessary!! Brilliant. And it worked like a charm. Plus, the little outfits are made from easy to use fabrics like corduroy and gingham (both have up and down lines on the fabric already--making it easy to cut out).
And look how adorable these dungarees are....and the adorable little pocket! Arrrrggggg...too cute! They are also half lined--with the gingham peaking out at the neck...
I love innovative sewing businesses and will definitely be buying her kits in the future. I really like having everything I need and not having to decide on fabric or notions!
