The tutorial shows you how to sew this cute dress in knit fabric, but you can experiment with other fabrics, colors, and skirt lengths.

You’ll Need:

• 2 yards of knit fabric (depending on your measurements)
• Matching thread
• 1” Elastic (enough to wrap around your waist)

Sewing Instructions:

You’ll find step by step illustrated instructions in the The Felted Fox blog

Sewing with Knits:

Sewing with knits can be tricky at the beginning, but once you learn the basics it is even easier than sewing with woven fabrics.  Below are some tips:

• Cut with a Rotary Cutter.
• Use Ball Point Jersey Machine Needles
• A Serger will make your job a lot easier, but if you don’t have a serger you can use a zig zag stitch.
• Use a Stretch Twin Needles for the finishing (hem and sleeves)

I hope you enjoy sewing this nightie for your little girl.

Happy Sewing,
