Sewing A Simple Dress with Kids

Sewing A Simple Dress with Kids

*This post contains affiliate links.

My daughter loves to sew!  She’s always asking to make something.  Recently, she wanted a lightweight robe so she dug through my material and found some she liked.  We found a pattern in my stash and I helped her make it.  Now, she has it in her mind that she’s going to make dresses for three adorable little girls at church.  We looked through my patterns, but they were all a little too complicated or didn’t have the right sizes.  Then, I remembered the Janey Jump Around Dress from peek-a-boo pattern shop.  It has all the sizes we need plus it’s an easy sew – perfect for my daughter to make three times – and best of all, it’s free!  She dug through my stash of knits and found ones that coordinated.

I normally pin the pieces in a couple spots to make sure they stay put, then she finishes pinning them and cuts them out with her own scissors.

Cutting Patterns Out

We read the directions together and then I pin the seams for her.

She did all the sewing herself.

She was very proud of herself when she finally finished!  I think it took her longer than she thought.

There were three happy little girls too.
