Girls dress sewing pattern. Slightly fitted straight cut. Lamb sleeves. Short or long sleeve option. 3 collar options: round collar with neckband, funnel neck or turtleneck (rather loose). Hems at the bottom of the sleeves and body.
Sewing level: easy
What you will learn with this pattern: make gathers, mount lamb sleeves, assemble a knit collar.
The t-shirt is provided with a simple hem at the bottom of the sleeve. If you want to make the bottom of the sleeve with stretch bias, just : 1- recut the bottom of the sleeves by the seam allowance of the hem (you no longer need this margin), 2- cut a stretch bias the length of the bottom of the sleeve (length measured flat), 3 - place the bias binding on the bottom of the sleeves which are still open (before sewing the underside of the sleeves); first we place the open bias right sides together on the selvedge, then we stitch, we fold the bias across and we stitch on the wrong side.... then we will stitch the undersides of the sleeves together
Size range : 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 years
Material suggestions:
- Knit: cotton jersey or cotton elastane or viscose, interlock, rib
