Selection: Summer Sewing: 10 easy sew patterns
It's time to break out the dresses and feel the fabric flow in the wind. Whether going for a walk, venturing to the market, or evening being around the house - a dress is always a good choice especially when it is also a breeze to sew. We've compiled a list of novice dress pattern that even beginners can sew...
Lace Dress
In addition to the A-line cut, a pleat in the middle of the front provides extra momentum and the spaghetti straps run through a small tunnel in the back.
Jersey Dress (Plus Size)
A super dress for a weekend to be spent in the garden and enjoying nature. Lengthwise accent stripes at the side panels and the flutter sleeves are purposely placed for the added look of a bolero being casually worn over the dress. The gently swinging skirt with the empire waist makes it comfortable.
Batiste Dress
Perfect for cheerful garden and outdoor weddings. This feminine style has a smocked neckline. The width can be drawn in with an optional fabric belt. The length is particularly flattering for petite women.
Jersey Dress
Sure, you need to be comfortable for holiday breaks – though, certainly also trendy! The knee-length dress covers both criteria: Ultrasoft jersey makes it comfortable, and the deep waterfall neckline drape in back as well as overcut shoulders are just the perfect style elements. Draw it in with an elegant belt for a beautiful evening look.
Viscose Dress
Do you have a relaxed shopping afternoon with a best friend planned? This comfortable dress with practical seam pockets doesn't feel restrictive and is also one that works for a day of walking in the city. If you like to have more definition at the waistline, simply wear a wide belt over the elastic.
Crepe Maxi Dress
The flowing silk crêpe used for this dress feels wonderfully smooth against your skin. The pattern in cut on the bias – also the lower skirt panel – for a beautiful and dreamy drape.
Jersey Dress
It is hard to believe but this charming dress is really one pattern piece that is finished by simply wrapping it around your body – cool!
Viscose Dress
Pair it with flat sandals for a meander in the city or with heels for the perfect party look: This dress with the elastic casing and belt transforms throughout the day from morning through sunset to shape a great figure. The colour and the print with 60s spirit is a good mood choice.
Linen Dress
This spring dress is a perfect choice even for beginning sewists. The dropped waist seam and the overcut shoulders complete the look. Tip: The darker or more elaborately printed fabric you choose lets tiny beginner mistakes stay less noticeable...
Jersey Dress
The look of high fashion...ready in less than an afternoon of sewing! This dress features overcut shoulders and a matching belt sewn of two petersham bands sewn together.
