This pattern is both perfect for the beginning sewist while varied enough to keep experienced sewists coming back for more! With an amazing size range (3m-12y) and so many options, this tutorial will teach you how to turn this quick sew into a beautiful masterpiece.

Included neckline options are a hood with various options (lined, hemmed, or with binding) or a neckband. Various length options make this pattern a perfect choice for a versatile wardrobe: pick the shirt length, banded top length, tunic length, or dress length. With a short sleeve, elbow sleeve, long sleeve, and thumbhole cuffs, this pattern will follow your favorite little person through all seasons.

If you have a pocket-loving kid running around, you’ll be pleased to have the option to add inseam pockets or a banded front pocket to this garment.

Love adding details to your projects? You can opt to add (non-functional, just for looks) drawstrings to the hood. You can thread a cord, coordinating piece of fabric, or any other type or drawstring you’d like to use, through the grommets or buttonholes you will install in this tutorial. I’ll also show you how to create fun cord stoppers out of knit fabric. 

This pattern is perfect for those who have never dared sew with knit before. The tutorial will teach you, step by step, the best way to gather, sew, and finish a gorgeous dress, top, tunic, or shirt.

Additional pattern blending instructions are provided, if needed, to assist you in having a garment that fits your precious person like a glove.

This versatile pattern has so many options, you’ll not grow tired of making them! This quick sew will be sure to please!

The straight cut hem makes this garment perfect for border prints.

Basic sewing skills are all you need to create a professional-looking dress or tunic. You don’t need a serger for this project.
