Those who watch till the end of the video get 2nd FREE PATTERN :)
Have watched this video more than times
I did watch video to the end (a couple of times) it keeps telling me I have to download google (which I opened with) to be able to print the patterns? Help please
Hello dear, how can I get a free pattern?
Thank you so much for the patterns. I have donated over 200 dresses to Dress a Girl around the World.
Thank you. You video was so helpfull. I am going to make many dresses with bias binding now ❤❤❤❤
I've made 3 of these now and I have to say, they are quite fun!! The pattern has given me more experience with making, using my own bias tape and it's not as difficult as I have imagined. I'm not a very fast sewer and if I could just eliminate my bone-head mistakes that cause me to waste time ripping out things and re-sewing, I could get one done in a day - including cutting out. Thank you for this pattern!
Oooooh, 3 already??? That's AMAZING, Christine! I am so, so glad you are getting the practice in with the bias tape, I think it is one of those things that gets easier and easier with every time and then you won't even notice how it becomes a second nature. I was secretly hoping that this little dress will help people with practicing bias tape technique :)
Watched your tutorial to the end a few times. THANK YOU. I am looking for a similar pattern for a 14 year old. I don't know how to increase and resize patterns. Any help you can give me is very appreciated. All your tutorials are clear, easy to follow and precise.
You've outdone yourself... again! This is SUCH an adorable dress and I love, love, love the pockets. I can't wait to get started on this pattern. Your instructions are great - concise and complete. Thank you so much for all you do.
1st Dress a Girl Around the World for 2024 dress made from your pattern. With the big side panel pockets. So excited. Thrift store find $2.00 linen table cloth & I cut 2 dresses out of it. God Bless you and your “Thoughtful Creativity” & free patterns ❤️🥰🙏
I just love it when your little darling comes in to model the outfit -- whatever it is! And also the kitty! Of course, YOU are the star!
Love ya! This is a cute little dress!
This year's dress is so adorable! I can't wait to get it made - thank you Alisa!
Aaaah, I am so happy you like it, Michelle! :)
Thank you so much I have been sewing dresses for DAG now for 7 years so this pattern will be a nice change as I have just been donated. Huge pile of cotton pieces! 🥰
That is awesome! I am already working/planning the free pattern for the next year, so thank you so so much for sharing your heart and your gifts with others!
Alisa, I made it using fabric from an XXL man’s dress shirt! It worked great and was less expensive. Love the pattern!
Maybe I'm a sewing whimp, but I printed out 4 pattern downloads. One download pattern piece for "Front" of dresse measured with and cut with seams specifications. One for "Back" piece measured and cut to added seam measurements. One for "Side Section" and one for the "Pockets". Now I can mass produce and not worry about cutting it wrong when I'm up in the middle of the night sewing. Thank-you for all your sewing guidance. What a blessing you are to the mission field. I'd like to think the world's a little better off because you're in it. Bless all you seamstresses out there sewing for missions and sewing for Jesus. May the Lord Bless you and keep .... make his face shine down upon you.... Amen!
Oh, my gosh, Alisa! Thank you for this pattern! I've made 28 of them so far, and I think I'm addicted. I just love putting together fabrics and colors for these cutie-pie dresses. I've come up with a variation that I think the little girls will love: Cut two fronts and use different (complementary) fabrics for them. Also divide the sides down the middle and use the two different fabrics so that when she wears it, it will show all of one fabric. That way she has two dresses in one without making it reversible. Score! Thanks again for this wonderful, playful pattern.
That is a great idea!!! And wow - 28!!! Thank you so so SO MUCH for sharing your heart and talent and making a difference!!! I will have to think of another fun and playful pattern for the next year :)
@catstitchstudio I'm trying so hard to picture what you are explaining but I just can't get it. Why cut 2 fronts in different fabrics if the dress isn't going to be reversible? My silly brain just can't get it. Are you using 2 fronts instead of having a back?
@@oodles_of_noodles.Hi, there. It's a different kind of reversible. It can be worn with either side facing front. Two dresses in one. Does that explain it?
@@catstitchstudio Thank you!!! Yes, I understand now and that's a great idea for this beautiful dress. I can see little girls being really excited with their 2 in 1 dresses... their mothers too.
Good morning Alisa! Once again, I have to thank you for this (and the other DAG patterns from years past) and the informative tutorials on each. At nearly 70 years old and sewing for more than 50 of those, I have learned/relearned skills that I never thought I could do. Making and using bias tape for binding and ties is no longer scary 🤣, I learned to use my gathering foot on the new serger I got from my husband this spring and while it took me 3 tries, I think I've mastered the art of patch pockets on the 2021 dress!!! This has been a fantastic month of sewing and I am sending Mari 12 dresses this week. Thank you, thank you, thank you for teaching an "old dog new tricks" in such an enjoyable way!!!!!🥰🥰
Thank you for these patterns ❤. Makes sewing so much easier for a beginner like myself.😊 Enjoy watching your videos.
these are beautiful dresses, and the way they are constructed is so easy. you have a wonderful talent. and we are all so lucky that you shear you talent with each and every one of us. Thank you so much. x
I love your videos!!! You show us step-by-step and this is really teaching me how to sew; something I have dreamed of for many years, THANK YOU!!! Please keep them coming..,
Thank you for the free pattern and sew along video. Looks easy enough for even me to make.
Thank you again, Alisa, for creating and sharing another wonderful free dress pattern with us for PDAG! God bless you!!! 🙏🏻 Love the patchwork look of the pattern and big pockets! Your little girl sure looks happy wearing the dress and I'm sure the recipients of these dresses will, too. 😊
He he, those pockets are meant to house alllllllll of the treasures that little girls like to collect - shells, rocks, flowers :) I made one dress for Artemis, too (she was so happy), the rest are going off to Mari :)
Wow! You're such a great teacher! This is a great video, I feel excited to attempt sewing this dress now. Thank you so much
Love to see you wearing your makes and I love the dresses for dress a girl around the world! ❤
Absolutely :) I have been wearing the top and pants so much since I made them :) Thank you and I hope that people will enjoy the dresses!
A beautiful design. I am always delighted when one of your videos appears in my feed.
Thank you so much, Madelyn 😀
So very clever. Really love those pockets, just adorable. Thank Alisha
April 2024 - thank you so much for your enthusiastic inspiration and superb filming of all the ticky bits - not to mention the fabulous cause. Our local fabric store has a sale on right now, so shall be paying them a visit. Can’t wait to start.
Thank you Alisa! I have only made your patterns for Dress a Girl, I really appreciate your videos. Without them I would be lost.
Thank you so much Elisa for the nice tutorial.🥰
I just made my first Dress a Girl dress from this pattern. I should have watched this video again before I started. I made the pockets go all the way to the bottom hem before attaching the ruffle. 🤦♀️ I think it will work though. I do have to move the label. I sewed it in the pocket, but it needs to be on the front, not the side. Thanks for this great pattern!
Your little girl looks just like you❤
Thank you Alisha for posting this free pattern!! Absolutely adorable and very easy to make. Love this pattern ❤ helped up my bias tape skills too, thank you again. Love sewing for Project Dress a Girl!
Hi Alisa! Thank You so much for sharing your patterns for this such a beautiful cause. Your enthusiasm lights up the room and definitely gives a lot of encouragement to others like me to do the same 💖🤗☺
Thank you for creating these stunning patterns.
I enjoy your channel so much. I sew for the older girls and would most appreciate a much larger version of this dress, with sleeves. Is there a chance that you could up size this pattern and add sleeves, please. I love this pattern but lack the skills to accomplish this. Perhaps this could be your 2024 contribution to Dress A Girl. I appreciate your giving your consideration to my request as well as all you have already done for this wonderful charity.
That's wonderful that you sew for the older girls, I'm hoping to do the same as time goes on too. I obviously can't speak for Alisa and I am new to her as well but she has mentioned a few times that she isn't a commercial pattern drafter which is why her patterns are always the size her little girl is currently in.
Remember older girls although likely small framed have started to develop and may also want to dress for their age and not like the 5 year olds so this will influence the style and fit of the dresses we will need to make for them. Commercial patterns are really expensive here in Australia ( around $22 to $36 each ) but are currently on sale at Spotlight for 2 for $10 so I am purchasing a couple from there. If you search #projectdressagirl on UA-cam some of the other creators have patterns for the older girls as well as recommendations & links on where to get both free ones and good bought ones. I hope this helps a little.
*Edit, I watched a lot more videos for this project yesterday and several creators stated that the older girls were trying to find things to tie around themselves for a makeshift belt to give the dress more shape so I am definitely going to take this into account for the girls aged 12 to 16 when looking at patterns for them.
I love the pockets and the design!
Wow simple but beautiful dress for little girls thanks for sharing
I am a quilter, but I enjoy watching you sew. You give great directions. I make dresses for the Christmas Child using the t-shirt and sewing a ruffle on it for girls 12-14. I enjoy doing this. I am going over to your other tutorial. I think this could help me with making these dresses. TFS!
Thank you for another beautiful dress pattern and another great video with clear and simple instructions. I'll now go and watch the video for your other dress pattern!
I just love the look of this little dress and these ease of construction!! Very straightforward 😊
Absolutely adorable daughter and dresses! I'd wear that type dress myself! :-) I need to oil my sewing machine and will love to help this wonderful cause.
🧵 I just had to subscribe 😁 your work is adorable ~ definitely going to make a few of these for my nieces ~Thank You 🩷🩵💛
The happy dance says it all.
Lovely little dress.
You are soq kind.
Gorgeous little dresses. Some very happy little girls coming up ❤
I will remember to staystitch the neckline to prevent stretching while working with the material (7:10). Thank you for the tip. What a great project!
Adorable little dress pattern! ❤ Also, love the suggestions for various options for different sewing expertises.🥴 Thanks for sharing your work.
Cool little pattern!❤
Ive made one, was fun, but id like ti make another in a little bigger size. Any thoughts on how much to increase where?
Thank you so much for this very cute pattern. I was able to make four dresses assembly line!
Great job, Tracy! Thank you so much for sewing with me and sharing your heart with those who need it!
I made the pattern, so adorable. It will make a little girl happy. Thank you.
❤❤ Thank you so much!! That was so very kind of you!!
You are a ROCKSTAR designer ❤🙏💕
Can't wait to try this out!! Thank you SO much!
This dress is amazing and it looks absolutely gorgeous on your daughter. The variations are perfect for all levels of sewists. Although I head back to school tomorrow, I am definitely going to do this!!! BTW, BUY fabric???? I have plenty in my stash and this is a great way to use it up! 😉 Thank you for the pattern and instructions!
Thank you for the new patterns!
What a great idea for a charity! Thanks for the info and pattern.
This dress is beautiful Thank You. My neighbour and I are going to make some up. 🙏❤️💜💙💚
made this lovely pattern using rugby knit from my offcut/ scrap bin and donated to local women's refuge
thank you for the free pattern! and the sew along
You are so welcome! P.S: There is another free pattern at the end of this video :)
This may be my favorite yet. Great design details and easy construction. Your approach for finishing the bodice is well thought out. Thanks for sharing with us for little girls around the world. ❤
Wow! ❤❤❤❤❤ i love it. So, so beautiful dresses 👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩👌👌👌👌I don’t have girls so young but I will going to download the pattern because I’m sure I will have a granddaughter in the near future. 😊😉😂 at least I hope. I have a grandson for now🤣. Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😍😍😍😍😍
Oh wow, thank you for that lovely pattern.:)
Thank you! I am excited to make some of these!
Just stumbled upon this organization and plan to make some dresses in September! This pattern is adorable!
It's April 2024 and I wish I'd known about this project while it was running. Will there be one this year also? Your pattern is gorgeous and your teaching excellent. You have another subscriber who can't wait to look at all your other videos :)
Beautiful dress!
I love every single dress and pattern, you are awesome!!❤
Beautiful dress and so well thought out! Thank you.
One cutting suggestion: Cut the along front neckline pattern and leave a 1/2 inch connection at center front. You can just fold it down when your'e ready to cut the front.
Lovely dresses/patterns!
I’m definitely in! My husband watched this with me and said you talked him into sewing a dress, too! He made a shirt in high school in the 60’s! Wait for it!!
This pattern is so stinking cute! Off to make the second pattern!
Love your yellow blouse!
Perfect for my little girl. You're so easy to follow
Cute dress for a little girl. I'll pull fabric from stash & see what happens. Great video😊
Thank you so much for the UA-cam videos, I'm super excited can't wait to start making this beautiful dress, you make it super easy to print and cut out your patterns and you help me along the way how to piece them together.
I see your twin, how precious.🥰
Beautiful dresses. I am making dresses for our shipment for girls around the world. I’m definitely going to try this pattern. Thank u for sharing 😊
Thank you so much for making this pattern available. I have made one so far. It’s fun to make and to coordinate my quilting cotton scraps The recipients will love these dresses and all the ones being made with love for this campaign. You’re the best 😊❤️
Excellent pattern!
Stunning🎉🎉
I just printed the pattern. And cut out all the pieces. Looks super fun to make 👍❤️🙏
YAY! I can't wait to get fabric and get started. Thank you for the video!!
Thank you so much, Christine and I hope you enjoy it ;)
Thanks for the gorgeous pattern Alisa - I’ve just finished cutting it out. I like the way it is a very durable style and method of construction. I understand these dresses need to be robust as they may get washed in rivers and on rocks etc. So they have to be sturdy items to last. Your sewing method is exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you for kiddo patterns ❤.
My pleasure and happy sewing!
This is very pretty!
The built in pockets are amazing! I might try to make similar ones for myself😄
Oh yes, do it :) any simple A-line dress will do and from there you just have to divide it in segments and that really is all :) I have an A-line dress pattern drafting on the channel for adults/kids. So easy :)
Gorgeous dresses and you have a beautiful little girl
Excellent video and explanation!
You present this so cute❤😊
Adorable, thank you!
My pleasure! :) I hope it makes for a fun and cheerful projects!
This makes me so happy! Can I please sent you some fabric for making dresses for this? I am too busy with life right now.
Thank you!
Thank you Alisa…another adorable & generous pattern. I had a tip I do for the seam binding: I make it a little more wide and I fold it in half, I then attach doubled and then flip it over and top stitch. I just found it cuts steps down. Keep up the great work. Your baby girl is growing so much and is just as precious as you! Blessings & besitos 💋💋💨
Hi Maddie! That is a good tip, I do it when I have my bias tape from very lightweight fabric, so that folding it in half does not create extra bulk :)
Thanks!
Even though Sewing is very intimidating to me but I really love your videos! You're so talented in dress making. Can you please show me how to draft this dress pattern step by step on a paper? I've been trying to make a rose red dress and a hoody cape for my daughter, and I've drafted the top part 3 times, but still don't seem to get it quite right😅😢. Many thanks!❤
Thanks Alisa
Beautiful 😍
Thank you! 😊
Fantastic dresses. Alice said she would love a "big kid " version :) I may need to draft for her something similar :)
Thank you! Do you have a simple A-line dress for her? If you do, then just separate the side panels and then the little pocket insert and ta-da! :)
Just making a dress as well, so wanted to watch this again. So ~ right after you added the pocket to the side panel, and were holding it up, it struck me that it is shaped like a tree, and is kind of Christmas-y as well. Getting some inspiration!
Thank you so much for the pattern, I love all the dresses you made, it's amazing that relatively simple design can be so gorgeous 😊👍
Thanks so much 😊 I know this one isn't the most fashionable dress, but from what I see from my little one - they care much more about comfort AND bright colors, and twirling, too :) I hope girls will love it :) if you make it for yours - send me a picture :)
@@ThoughtfulCreativity exactly, I think it's perfect, especially if one gets some pretty fabric. Usually if the design of the pattern is too busy, the fabric should be simple. Well, in my opinion anyway 😊👍
I'll definitely sew this for the girls once I get some nice fabric. I don't have Facebook tho.
Oh yes, I am with you on the fabric, if the fabric is busy and pattern is busy - you loose both :) oh, Instagram? :)
Thank you …💘
Have some great fabrics to pull from my stash so am thrilled to get started with this project today. Would love to have information on how to grade this pattern for an older girl.
All of your little dresses look cool, comfortable, and so beautiful. I was thinking that I would love to have a dress with pockets like those. Are you going to make one for yourself? It would make a wonderful jumper dress for winter made from heavier fabric in a solid color.
wow so nice ...I want to try to do this dress for me ( a big dress ;-) )
Would love this dress in a woman's size.
