I would have liked the construction steps to be numbered though, so you could find where you had got up to more quickly. The instructions are very basic, but most of the steps are illustrated by a clear photo, so I doubt it would be too challenging for anyone with a bit of sewing experience.

I actually really like this (as opposed to a separate PDF for example) because I can follow along on my phone which is propped up next to my sewing machine, and I don't have to get out my laptop. The construction steps are written in the form of a tutorial in a blog post. The front and back pieces are formed from the same pattern piece, but you cut away a section at the top when cutting the front pieces which shortens the rise. The patterns are very simple without much info included on the pieces ( no grain lines, notches or seam allowance reminder), but I really liked how they only required a few sheets of paper and about three seconds to cut out! I also found the shorts part of the romper pattern really clever. I used a piece of 100% jersey (no elastane/lycra/spandex content) from my stash that didn't have very much stretch, and despite the garment not fitting, I could tell that the fabric would have worked fine. I'd say that single jersey or anything t-shirt weight would be best. Knit fabric could also be used (see next paragraph).įor the romper, it is specified that knit fabric be used so it can be pulled on and off with ease.
I wouldn't recommend anything thicker than a lighter-weight quilting cotton though. This pattern is a great scrap buster, so have a hunt through your leftovers to see what you might be able to use. Cotton lawn is light-weight but a dream to work with it responds well to pressing yet doesn't crease too horrendously. Here I used the leftovers from my Cobra Corsage Luna pants, which is basically a cotton lawn. There isn't any suggestion for what type of fabric to use for the top/dress pattern, or how much you'll need, but I'd say a light-to-medium weight woven cotton, or even something more slinky like a viscose, would work well. Many thanks to Autumn for making these patterns and tutorials available for us to use for free. I'm putting this info at the top of this post here because if you're sewing for bigger or much smaller kids, I'm afraid this post may not be of use to you.
The reason for this is that these patterns (the flutter sleeve dress and top and romper patterns by It's Always Autumn) are only for size 4T (or actually smaller, but more on that in a bit).
#Flutter sleeve top sewing pattern free
Today I'm featuring a couple of free sewing patterns for children that didn't feature in 'My Favourite Free Children's Sewing Patterns' post. Thanks to all the amazing pattern designers who have offered up their hard work for us to enjoy for free. I firmly believe that, if you pick your projects carefully, sewing doesn't have to be a crazy-expensive way to clothe yourself and your family. I publish these posts every first Friday of the month, timed to provide inspiration for those of you who plan to get their sew on over the weekend. Welcome to my monthly ' Free Pattern Friday' feature, where I road test a free sewing pattern or tutorial: sometimes a children's one, sometimes a women's one.
