Here is the PDF for the dress pattern. Print out the pattern with your printer. There is a one inch square for reference if the pattern does not get printed correctly.
Here is the .Studio file for Silhouette Cameo users. Cut the pattern piece with your Silhouette.
Here is the file as an SVG. Cut the pattern piece with your Cricut or other paper cutting machine.
1. Cut 2 of the dress pattern on a fabric fold. I traced the pattern onto the fabric and then cut the fabric.
2. Pin the two pieces of fabric right sides together.
3. Stitch around the edge with a 1/8 inch seam allowance. Leave a two inch opening at the bottom of the dress. I recommend sewing the top edge of shoulder strap very slowly. My machine lets me stitch one stitch at a time. I turned the fabric to go around the curve and then stitched the one stitch.
4. Clip around the curved edges.
5. Turn the dress right side out.
6. Hand sew the opening in the bottom edge of the dress.
7. Sew snaps or velcro to the top edge of the shoulder. One side of the snap gets sewn to the face of the shoulder (shown) and the other side of the snap gets sewn to the top edge of the shoulder strap (not shown). When hand sewing this shoulder strap snap, do not sew all the way through to the front of the fabric because your stitches will show. A small button can be placed on the front side of the strap to eliminate the need to be accurate with your hand sewing.
Thank you!
