When people talk about school uniforms, I remember my school dress made of brown wool. Very convenient. With a pleated skirt, removable snow-white collar and cuffs, which I sewed myself. By the way, that’s when I learned to crochet beautiful collars. I was no exception, many girls knew how to do this...

To go with the dress, definitely an apron. Black or white with cap sleeve. I really loved my uniform. And when it was canceled in the early 90s, she continued to wear it, one of not many. It seems to me that school uniforms can be beautiful and functional. And it can even express individuality. And contribute to the growth of a bright personality more than loose clothing. Because it is more difficult to show your brightness in such “cramped” circumstances, but if this brightness is there, then no school uniform will hide it. It's my opinion. In general, I am for the form!

Look at these cute girls in Soviet era school dresses. I can’t help but see myself in them.

And looking at the pre-revolutionary photos of high school students and their dresses, it becomes clear whereSoviet fashion designers drew inspiration.

These photos of Karina Kiel are a modern reconstruction of uniform dresses of that era. They are wonderful!

Today, school uniforms can be very beautiful, bright and comfortable. Many famous designers offer interesting collections of children's uniforms.

When choosing a school dress (sundress or set), you need to follow several rules:

the dress should be comfortable,

beautiful,

not very bright, because too bright colors can be distracting and even annoying

from predominantly natural, hygroscopic, high-quality fabrics,

modern, i.e. meet fashion trends,

should not be boring, dull,

It’s good if it can be easily combined with various blouses, knitted T-shirts, jumpers, badlons.

and most importantly, your child should like it!

I don’t think you need to buy or sew a dress to grow too much. After all, because of everyday wear, you will get tired of it and wear it out.

It also seems to me that it makes sense to prepare several sets of uniforms, at least two. In case the child gets dirty and you don’t have time to wash it. Let it be a dress and a sundress, or a sundress and a set of a skirt and jacket, or a dress and a pair of aprons.... It’s not difficult for us, sewing mothers! And yes, it’s a joy.

For a modeling lesson, I propose to analyze two models: a charming sundress dress for a first-grader and a stylish sundress resembling an apron for a slightly older girl.

If you have already used the pattern generator on our website, then you should know that we have generators for the basics of dresses for a woman’s figure according to individual measurements. There is one for a child too. It is designed for the figure of a girl of primary school age. When the figure has not yet begun to change.

If your daughter is already a teenager, then it is better to use for women, using measurements taken from her figure. The program will cope with the task and create a base pattern of your chosen silhouette according to the measurements you need.

Well. and we will begin modeling a school dress for a girl of primary school age. It is perfect for a first grader.

Modeling a school dress pattern for a first-grader

For a dress, it is best to choose fabrics that are soft but at the same time hold their shape. With a predominance of natural fibers. It is possible to use knitwear, but not loose, but more elastic - dress material. The model is simple, and this is rather an advantage. After all, in combination with different blouses, it can be both elegant and everyday. In addition, the simplicity of execution is captivating. You can sew two at once!

So, for modeling we need

Let's move the shoulder dart into the armhole. see fig.

Let's deepen the armhole a little

Adjusting the neckline

Let's shorten the shoulder line

Draw a cutting line for the waist just above its natural position. It’s better to get your bearings by measuring this measurement on your figure.

​

6. Let's model the pattern of the dress skirt, increasing its volume to obtain a gather.

Ready! The dress fastens with a zipper in the middle back seam. The neckline and armholes can be covered with a thin lining, placing it over the entire upper part, or edged with bias tape.

Modeling a school sundress

You can model this stylish sundress using a skirt pattern with a circular one-sided fold and the upper part - an apron piece plus straps. I found this model very interesting and functional. Plus, it looks very modern. And one more important factor that influenced the choice of this particular model - I think it will be useful for you to show how to make a skirt pattern in a circular pleat.

So let's start with the skirt. (Let's agree that the fabric will be plain, so as not to tie the size of the fold to the pattern of the fabric.)

Fabric calculation. When calculating the amount of fabric for such a model, they always proceed from the measurement (hip circumference + increase of 2-3 cm) * 2.5 - 3 and the length of the skirt.

Calculation of the width of the folds. (About + allowance)/number of folds. For example, (82+2)/12 (number of folds according to the sketch, 6 each on the front and back panels)

(82+2)/12=7 cm, where 7 is the width of the fold.

Calculation of fold depth. Usually, if the yardage of the fabric allows, and also if the size is not large, the depth of the fold is taken as Fold Width *2.

7*2 = 14 cm is the Depth of the fold.

Final calculation of fabric for the skirt. (Fold width+Fold depth)*number of folds

(7+14)*12=2 meters 52 cm of fabric + seam allowances.

Now, knowing the width of the fabric, we can easily calculate how many cuts with a length equal to the length of the skirt (plus allowances for processing the bottom and sewing the belt we need). In our case, let’s say, with a skirt length of 50 cm + 5 cm (allowances for seams and the bottom of the skirt) and a fabric width of 140 cm, we will need 110 cm of fabric.

How to mark pleats on the waistline. For this (From + increase in freedom 1-2 cm) / number of folds. Let's say from 58 plus an increase of 2 cm

(58+2)/12=5

When marking the folds, towards the bottom you need to slightly increase the width of the fold. This is necessary to improve the shape of the skirt and only for ironed pleats.

And here’s what the layout looks like on the fabric of our skirt. Fabric width 140 cm.

Next, you need to build the top of the sundress and the straps. I think there will be no difficulties with this, I will only say that the upper part of the sundress is a rectangle with a height equal to the Length of the shelf minus 8-12 cm, and a width equal to the Width of the shelf minus 8-10 cm. Focus on the figure of your model and good proportions.

For fitting, make the straps with a margin of length.

The modeling of the sundress is completed. And it’s not difficult at all, right? But how beautiful! Let your girl wear it with pleasure!

Our lesson has come to an end. I hope you like the models I chose for him.

I would also like to say that the pattern of a basic dress for a girl in the form in which it exists can be used to sew this or a similar model of a school dress for little students. There is no need to model anything. Except, perhaps, expansion towards the bottom. Make it less noticeable.

And for teenagers and girls we have on our website, designed for different sizes and heights starting from 36 European. Using the pattern, you can sew a beautiful school dress for a high school girl. For example, like in the photo. You just need to change her skirt a little (remove the clasp).

I wish you enjoy sewing! After all, sewing for children is a real joy. They are so sincere and our most beloved customers))!

When sewing children's clothing, it is advisable to use natural fabrics or fabrics with a minimum amount of synthetic fibers. In other cases, we sew a dress lined with natural fabric. For sleeves and yoke, you can use companion fabrics - guipure, chiffon, etc. Select the color according to the dress code of your school.

The pattern comes in three life-size sizes. with seam allowances.

The allowance is 1.5 cm.

When determining your size, focus more on the chest girth and hip girth, since the dress fits your figure quite loosely in the waist area.

Note: First, print one sheet with a reference square of 10x10 cm. Check that its sides correspond exactly to 10 cm. Achieve this using the settings of your printer. Now you can print out all the pattern sheets and assemble them into one puzzle, according to the pattern, using narrow tape or an adhesive stick.

Before cutting out your pattern pieces, take a tape measure and compare your measurements to the pattern's measurements. Check all girths and length of the product. Determine the optimal size for yourself and cut out the pattern pieces.

Ready-made patterns are given for a conventionally typical figure. If your figure differs from the conventionally typical one, you should adjust the pattern taking into account the characteristics of your physique and only then start cutting.

Cut out the dresses

ATTENTION! The pattern is given with a seam allowance of 1.5 cm.

The location of the seam (machine stitching) is marked on the pattern pieces with a thin dotted line only for smaller sizes. For other sizes, this line should be marked independently.

Cutting details

• Before 1 piece with fold

• Back yoke 2 parts
• Sleeve 2 parts

Once again I draw your attention to the fact that The pattern is given with allowances.

Note: The dress can be either lined or unlined. The lining is cut according to the main patterns.

Sewing a dress

We give a brief sequence of dress processing. A more detailed description can easily be found in specialized literature or in master classes on the Internet.

The nuances of technological processing of the product primarily depend on the type of fabric. Each node can be processed in several ways. For example, the neckline can be finished with a facing, bias binding, etc.

The pattern is printed on a regular printer.

You receive immediately three pattern sizes.

The sundress is cut at the waist, the skirt is folded. Zip fastening in the middle back seam. Using this pattern, you can sew not only a formal school sundress, but also a summer dress for relaxation, choosing bright fabrics.

The pattern is sent instantly by email (to your e-mail address). The file with the pattern is located in the attachment letters. Open, print, glue the sheets, cut out the size you need and you can start cutting.

To be able to print the pattern several times, save the file to your computer.

To sew a school sundress you will need 0.9 - 1 m of fabric (depending on the size) with a width of 1.50 m. Select fabrics depending on the purpose of the sundress, preferably natural ones. These can be plain fabrics, in color corresponding to the dress code of your school. For other cases, checkered, striped, etc. fabrics are suitable. For the summer version, you can use light fabrics of a wide variety of colors and shades.

The school sundress pattern is given in three life-size sizes no seam allowances.

Tables of children's clothing sizes, as well as the ratio of the child's age, height, chest circumference and weight.

Note: Before printing all sheets, print one sheet with a reference square of 10x10 cm. Check that its sides correspond exactly to 10 cm. Achieve this using your printer settings. Now you can print out all the pattern sheets and assemble them into one puzzle, according to the pattern, using narrow tape or an adhesive stick.

The pattern is designed for ages approximately 7-10 years. Age guidelines are not very reliable, since children at this age are of different heights and different fatness. Therefore, before cutting out the pattern pieces, take basic measurements from your child: chest and waist circumference, length to the waist and the entire product, compare with the pattern parameters and determine the appropriate size.

Cutting out a school sundress

Patterns are given without seam allowances, therefore, when cutting, do not forget about this and add 1-1.5 cm for sewing seams, 0.7-0.8 cm for hemming seams, 2-4 cm for hemming the bottom of the product, depending on the processing method.

When cutting, allow additional allowances in those places where clarification is possible after fitting.

Details of the cut of the school sundress

The bodice of a school sundress for the cool season is recommended to be lined (cut according to the main details).

• Before 1 piece with fold
• Back 2 parts
• Skirt front panel 1 piece with fold
• Back panel of skirt 2 parts
• Stitching of the neckline and front armholes 1 piece (taken from the main pattern)
• Stitching of the neckline and back armholes 2 parts (taken from the main pattern)

Note: The details of the front and back panels of the skirt are cut using the same pattern.

Sewing a school sundress

After stitching, sweep all open edges.

Even a novice dressmaker can easily handle sewing such a sundress.

Sewing a sundress can be simplified by using knitted tape to finish the neckline.

When sewing a sundress using facings (as provided in this model), I would suggest the following processing sequence:

• Stitch the shoulder sections.
• Reinforce the facings with an adhesive pad and sew down the shoulder sections of the facings.
• Finish the neckline and armholes with facings.
• Stitch the side seams of the bodice.
• Sew the side sections of the front and back panels of the skirt.
• Place folds on the skirt along the control marks and secure with pins.
• Connect the bodice with the skirt along the waistline.
• Stitch the middle section of the back panel of the skirt to the reference mark, leaving an area for the zipper.
• Sew in the zipper.
• Process the bottom of the product.

The sundress is ready. With new clothes!

Just a few decades ago, absolutely all schoolchildren were required to wear a prescribed uniform, which made life much easier for parents. Buying a dress was not difficult at that time. All stores had a special department where you could choose uniforms of absolutely any size, for both boys and girls.

Today there is no generally accepted style. All that remains is an agreement on the color combination. Light top and dark bottom are a classic. And it is precisely this combination that the administration of any school asks parents to adhere to. In addition to the standard combination of a blouse with a skirt or trousers, girls are allowed to wear sundresses over a light blouse. But today it can be quite difficult to choose a thing of the right size, especially when it comes to clothes for first-graders. Often, little ones entering the school path simply do not correspond to the generally accepted size range of uniforms produced today. And even the smallest models turn out to be great.

Therefore, it will not be amiss to learn how to sew a school The patterns for this item of clothing presented in the article will help craftswomen understand the principle of creating a base pattern and modeling various styles.

Perhaps, you should start working on a new outfit for a little schoolgirl by determining the length of the cut of the material and measurements.

Calculation and taking measurements

To cut and calculate the fabric, you should measure the child’s height, chest, waist, hips, back width, height from shoulder to chest, as well as the length from shoulder to waist and the length of the finished product. For any model, be it a straight silhouette or a version with a fabric width of 150 cm, you will need a cut equal to the length of the finished product + 10 cm for finishing the seams and hemming the bottom. If the width of the material is 110 or 80 cm, its consumption will increase by approximately 20 cm.

What material should you not take?

You should select fabric for a school sundress based on the following requirements for the fabric:

What is the best material to make a sundress from?

The ideal option both in terms of price and quality would be the so-called school fabric, as well as katon and gabardine. But you can use other costume fabrics. Knitted fabrics include diving and jersey. In any case, the patterns of school sundresses discussed in this article are suitable for making a product from any fabric, the only difference will be in the fastener.

In addition to fabric, you will need sewing equipment, matching threads, a 50 cm long zipper or buttons. But, as practice shows, a child will be more comfortable with a zipper clasp.

Building a template

The main pattern of a school sundress for a 7-year-old girl, on the basis of which absolutely all styles are modeled, is constructed in accordance with the measurements taken from the figure. To develop a drawing, you will need to outline a rectangle on paper or construction film. One side is half the chest circumference, the other is the length of the product. Further construction can be divided into several stages:

Perhaps these are all the tricks of constructing the basic pattern for school sundresses. All its changes relate to design and modeling. And this topic is worth talking about separately, because by changing the number of cut elements and their shape, you can achieve amazing results.

Modeling

If you change the base a little, new patterns for school sundresses will come out. For example, in the drawing you can indicate raised seams from the shoulder and to the bottom, the sections of which should be flared towards the hem. The six-piece product will look like a bell and is perfect for a skinny little girl.

You can also make the top cut-off, and make the skirt out of a strip of fabric gathered with bows or regular folds. The place where both parts combine can be decorated with a satin ribbon and a bow. In this case, it is best to lower the waist by about 7 cm.

Patterns for school sundresses for girls can be improved. For example, it is not difficult to fit it along the back and thus make a real ladies' sheath dress for the baby.

Also interesting options would be models with a tulip skirt and a peplum at the waist.

Armhole and neck design options

Sewing a school sundress, the pattern of which is so easy to construct, is not at all difficult. The most difficult thing that can lie in wait during assembly is the armhole. They can be made from the main fabric or a selection of lining material, duplicating the main fabric of the product up to the waist line.

Due to the fact that patterns for school sundresses for girls are made without complex calculations and drawings, and the processing of parts is not as difficult as it might seem at the beginning of work, you should try your hand at making a school uniform item yourself.

On the eve of the new school year, children's clothing stores are full of all kinds of styles of school uniforms. Parents often spend a lot of time choosing an outfit that suits both the adults and the child. And it's not just about the price. The quality of fabric and tailoring plays a big role here. Sometimes an interesting model is made from cheap synthetic materials, which is not entirely suitable for daily wear by a child. And sometimes high-quality fabric is sewn in such a way that it does not fit well on any figure. And here the best option is to sew a school uniform yourself. If a mother has such a skill, this is always a big plus both for the child himself and for the family budget as a whole. Therefore, today we will try to find the answer to the question of how to sew a school sundress for a girl with our own hands - patterns will help you quickly figure out the nuances.

Schoolgirl wardrobe

The school standard for girls is no longer the uniform uniform that our mothers and grandmothers were forced to wear. Today, in the modern world, girls and young women choose bright, open clothes of various styles. In addition, fashion, fortunately, has forever left the “black bottom - white top” rule in the past. The educational institution sets only the general style:

• Today, the classic combination of a vest and a skirt often becomes the only option for many educational institutions.
• Along with this option, a jacket or jacket in combination with a skirt or even trousers is considered quite appropriate within the walls of a school.
• Sometimes girls are allowed to wear dresses of appropriate length and style.
• The ideal option for young ladies is a sundress - not a summer one, made of light materials, but a more modest style with a small sleeve or without it at all. Therefore, more and more often mothers are wondering how to sew a school sundress for a girl with their own hands.

Important! This option for school clothes can be combined with a variety of shirts, blouses, T-shirts and turtlenecks. And every time it will look new.

Material selection

Before you sew a school sundress for a girl with your own hands and start making patterns, you should carefully study the recommendations for choosing fabric. Your child will have to wear these clothes almost every day for a year. Therefore, it must meet certain requirements:

• consist of natural fibers and provide comfort;
• be breathable and hygroscopic;
• shrinkage of the material should be minimal;
• the material should be soft, but at the same time durable;
• The fabric must be colorfast when washed.

Before sewing a school sundress or other clothes to replenish your wardrobe, we advise you to listen to the opinions of manufacturers who deal with dozens of different materials every day:

• Blouses for girls and shirts for boys are most often made from poplin.
• Turtlenecks and knitted blouses are made from knitted fabric and footer.
• A footer, both with and without fleece, is perfect for sportswear.
• For suits, dresses and sundresses, corduroy, foulé, denim and twill will be optimal.

Important! When choosing the color of the material, give preference to dark blue and dark gray colors. They are not as gloomy as black, but also go well with almost all colors.

Pattern modeling

In order to sew a school sundress for a girl with your own hands, patterns can be found on the Internet. It is not necessary to choose the most complex style; you can take a basic pattern. Based on it, you can make several clothing patterns at once.

Option 1

In the first version, we will look at how to sew a school sundress for a girl with our own hands in a semi-fitting silhouette. The lower part will be cut off; on the front part we will make 2 counter folds.

On a sheet of paper, or preferably large thick cardboard, we transfer the contours of the basic pattern. To work, we will need the main lines - the chest and bottom of the product:

1. From the chest line we put 7 cm down and draw a horizontal line. This will be the beginning of the cutting bottom part.
2. Now let's move on to the armhole. On a regular dress it is high, but we need to make it deeper so that blouses and turtlenecks can be worn underneath.
3. From the base point of the end of the armhole we put 2 cm down. We also shorten the shoulder line on both sides from the outer part by 2 cm. Now we connect the resulting points with a smooth line, repeating the lines of the base pattern.
4. We also make the neck deeper. On the back it will be enough to put 1 cm down. On the shelf we will increase this value to 3 cm. We will also shorten the shoulder line by 2 cm. Now we draw a new neckline with smooth lines. The upper part has already become like a sundress, and the reduced shoulder lines look like straps.

Important! Before you sew a school sundress, do not forget about such a detail as the neck facing. This detail follows the lines of the neckline; towards the shoulders its width should be no more than 5 cm; towards the center of the back and shelf it must be increased to 10 cm, otherwise it will constantly crawl out.

Now let's move on to building the lower part of the skirt:

• We also transfer the contours of the lower part of the shelf, the cutting part, onto a sheet of paper or whatman paper.
• The depth of our fold will be, for example, 3 cm. To model it, we find the center of the front part.
• From this point we set aside 6 cm to the right and left. These will be the folds folded in half towards each other.
• Now we also add 6 cm on each side of the panel.

Important! The extra centimeters added will go into the folds, and if you don’t add the same amount to the side seams, the sundress will simply be too small.

• Now measure the distance along the top, and based on this measurement, draw a rectangle. This will be the cut-off skirt. After the folds are formed on the fabric, the sundress will take on a slightly flared shape at the bottom.
• Redraw the back from the base pattern or model it in the same way, placing 2 folds in the middle of the part.

Option 2

Another option for how to sew a school sundress is also based on a basic pattern. Now it will be a semi-fitting model, with short sleeves, also with a cut-off skirt with pleats, but with a low waistline and pockets:

1. We transfer the contours of the base pattern onto thick paper.
2. We immediately determine the length of the future sleeve and shorten the part to the required size.
3. Now we put 7 cm down from the waist line and draw a horizontal line.
4. This will be the junction of the top and bottom of our sundress. We leave the upper part unchanged; we have to model the lower part.

The skirt in this model is also a rectangle. In order to calculate the width of this rectangle, we measure the distance along the stitching line of the skirt. Let it be equal to 40 cm. Now we calculate the depth of our folds and the number:

• For example, each fold will be 4 cm deep, which means 8 cm of fabric is needed to create them, and there will be 4 folds in total on the skirt, which means 8x4 = 32 cm.
• We add to the original size of the canvas and get 72 cm. This means that the width of our rectangle will be 72 cm + 2 cm for allowances.
• And the length of the rectangle will be equal to the length of your future sundress + 3 cm for hemming the bottom and + 1 cm for stitching the skirt to the top.
• Before sewing a school sundress for a girl with our own hands, all we have to do is draw the line of entry into the pocket and the burlap of the pocket.

Important! The back of the skirt is a rectangle, built on the calculations presented above, only without such a detail as a pocket.

Sewing sequence

Before answering the question of how to sew a school sundress for a girl with your own hands, we note that there is no need to rush in this work. To ensure that such clothes are not inferior in quality to expensive factory items, you should follow the established sequence of actions:

1. Before sewing a school sundress for a girl with your own hands, transfer the details of the pattern onto the fabric using chalk and soap.
2. If seam allowances are not included on the pattern, do not forget about them when cutting the material.
3. Before sewing a school sundress, we must glue the facings of the neckline and armhole with non-woven material. After this part is sewn, do not forget to stitch, retreating 1 mm from the edge so that the facing does not turn outward.
4. We sew the details of the sundress in the following sequence: first we process the shoulder seams, then we sew in the sleeves and only then we connect the side seams. Then comes the processing of the neck and bottom of the product.
5. If the product comes with a cut-off skirt, as in our version, then first we assemble the upper part and process the neckline and armhole. Then we sew on the pockets and create folds. Next comes the turn of the side seams and the connection of the upper and lower parts.

Important! In the process of sewing a school sundress, do not forget to iron the seams so that the product looks neat.

Having mastered the basic sewing technique and simple modeling techniques, you can take on more complex products. Even a Soviet-style uniform will be within your power. And then you can forget about identical factory dresses, which are not always of good quality.

In order for the question of how to sew a school sundress or any other clothes for a child or for yourself to always be resolved successfully, you need to remember a few golden rules that will be useful to every seamstress:

• Take your time. Many newbies make this mistake. Everyone wants to quickly see the result of their work and show off their new clothes as quickly as possible. It is in a hurry that many people forget to baste the parts and iron the seams, which results in warped edges and incorrectly sewn parts. And here you don’t save time, but spend it even more - on ripping out seams and eliminating imperfections.
• The second common mistake is sewing without trying on. This is only permissible if you have already sewn a similar model using the pattern and the experiment was successful. If the pattern has not yet been tested, then there is no need to risk it. It’s better to sweep everything by hand first, try it on, make adjustments, and only then sit down at the machine.
• No matter how tempting the prospect of working with ready-made patterns may be, before sewing a school sundress, check the pattern downloaded from the Internet. Compare with your measurements, if necessary, adjust the base to the parameters you need. Please note that all ready-made patterns are created for a typical figure, which only an exhibition mannequin has.
• If you are determined to learn how to sew a school sundress, then remember: in order to learn how to sew, you need to really want it and try. Many people think that creating clothes is a very difficult process that only talented people can do. In fact, anyone can learn this.
• Don't be afraid to learn from your mistakes. Just understand and accept - at first, there will be a lot of them both in the sewing process and in the process of creating a pattern. It may well be that the first experience will end in tears. But on the second product you will take into account everything that you did wrong.
• Before transferring parts to fabric, do not forget to wet-heat treat all materials. Please note that any fabric, regardless of density, shrinks. If you do not process it before cutting, you may end up with a product that is too small for you.

Important! As an experiment, you can cut 2 pieces of fabric - 10 by 10 cm, iron one, and then compare them. Sometimes it happens that the processed section becomes 9 by 9 cm in size.

• Many people, when sewing a school sundress, neglect to process the seams and do not iron them. However, it is not worth doing work that is known to be of poor quality. By giving in to yourself once, you run the risk of turning tailoring according to the “it will do” principle into the norm. If you notice that one pocket is sewn lower than the other, if the cuffs on the shirt are of different widths, and if the gather at the hem of the skirt is thicker on one side, don’t be lazy. Take it and redo it until you achieve a quality result.
• Before you sew a school sundress for a girl with your own hands from expensive fabric, practice on some simple one. Many novice dressmakers have no fear of ruining the material; they buy difficult-to-sew fabrics and then don’t know what to do with it. The result of such a mistake is disappointment and loss of interest in sewing.
• A sewing machine is the most important tool in a seamstress’s work. Therefore, always monitor its condition and settings. Clean regularly to remove threads, dust and oil. If serious problems arise, do not undertake repairs yourself - you may worsen the situation, it is better to immediately call a specialist.

After spending a little time reading this article, you learned how to sew a school sundress for a girl with your own hands, and you also learned how to make patterns. Now you can start creating a wardrobe for your schoolgirl, which will contain at least 2 sundresses of different styles. If the fabric is chosen correctly and all recommendations are followed when sewing, then the clothes will delight your child and you every day. And the tips given above will help you improve your sewing skills and become a master whose hands produce only high-quality items.
