Sew pretty and adorable dresses for your little girl with this collection of over fifty free girls’ dress patterns and tutorials
gathered from all over the web.
And since many of these dresses are made from simple shapes, they could make a good first project for a beginner just
learning how to sew.
And just a reminder, especially because many of these dress designs are made from cotton fabrics, to preshrink your
fabric first before cutting and sewing so that your finished dress will retain its shape after laundering. And if you happen
to be making your dress from several colorful fabrics, be sure to test each fabric for colorfastness to make sure no
bleeding will occur from one fabric to another when you launder your finished dress.
And since a few of these dress designs are made from knit fabrics, here are a couple of tips for working with knits:
Remember to use a ball-point needle in your sewing machine which will slide between the fibers of your knit fabric
instead of piercing through them, and remember to use a special “stretch stitch” (or a very fine zigzag stitch) when
sewing your knit fabric so that your seams will stretch with the fabric when the dress is worn.

Sewing Quick Tips:
Tip #1: When pressing cotton fabric, to get a better, crisper press, iron it slightly damp. Most
cotton fabrics are quite durable and can take this moisture and a higher heat setting. But if in
doubt, dampen and press a swatch of it first.
Tip #2: When sewing through elastic, just remember to use a ballpoint needle in your sewing
machine just as you would with any knit fabric in order to prevent skipped stitches. And also be
sure to use an elastic that is specifically designed to be sewn through.
