Andrea from The Train To Crazy and Go To Patterns graciously invited me to be a part of her pattern tour. I was planning on making myself another Casual Lady but then I remembered that this week is Kids Clothing Week so I made a kids dress instead. I made the Anywhere Dress, (affiliate link),a simple knit tunic with a boat neck and elbow length sleeves. The fit was very good and I didn’t do any fiddling with this pattern. It’s a size 4. It’s easy to sew and makes a great little wardrobe basic. A GO TO dress! And the pattern happens to be on sale!
This pattern has a neckline facing. I have never actually faced a knit garment before, I’ve always used bindings, or just turned under and stitched, but the facing gives the neckline some needed structure. However, I would recommend using some elastic or other stabilizer like twill tape at the seam, as the neckline became somewhat stretched out when I sewed the facings to it.
The length seems to be just perfect for my four year old. She looks very comfy in this. I have had this fabric for like fifteen years at least. I made The Too Late For Love Dress knit tunic tutorial with it and another top. This is sadly the last of it. It had a good run!
Hello from Milo!
Oh my gosh, she is a mini you!! Adorable girl and dress!
I love that fabric! You are good at choosing a design that shows off you fabric. I’m cutting the Mara blouse from Compagnie M. We’ll see how it goes.
This is the coolest fabric ever! Love it. Hello, Milo! He is also cute. 🙂 🙂
Adorable… such a cute/cute dress. And I must say- The model is adorable too…
Happy sewing.
This is adorable. I would wear this dress if it were made in my size. Super Cute!
Such a cute dress Justine…and ahhh I want that photography course you took…I know I have said it before but wow your photos have improved so much – and it is not like they were bad before, haha.
Stunning fabric!!! Black and white with a little red is the perfect colour combo for a striking effect.
I love this little dress, and I love her shoes, Thanks so much for sharing, Kay
