Sewing a Toddler Dress with Cap Sleeves & Lace Detail | Full Walkthrough | Creative Craft Studio

Welcome to Creative Craft Studio! Today, we’re crafting an adorable floral baby dress perfect for a 2.5-year-old girl. This beginner-friendly project features a vibrant pink-and-white floral print, delicate lace detailing, and playful side ties. I’ll guide you through every step—from taking measurements to finishing seams—ensuring a comfortable, twirl-worthy dress. Let’s get started! Materials & Tools • Fabric: 1 meter (1.1 yards) of lightweight cotton (pink floral print shown). • Lace Trim: 15 cm (6") for neckline. • Matching Thread: Pink or white. • Tools: Sewing machine, scissors, pins, measuring tape, iron, safety pin (for threading ties). • Measurements for 2.5-Year-Old: • Chest: 56 cm (22") • Dress Length: 50 cm (19.5") • Sleeve Width: 20 cm (8") at hem (gathered). Step-by-Step Sewing Instructions 1. Cutting Fabric • Front & Back Panels: Cut two rectangles (52 cm wide × 50 cm long). Tip: Add 2 cm seam allowance to all edges. • Sleeves: Cut two rectangles (25 cm wide × 15 cm long). Gathered edge = 20 cm finished width. • Skirt Ties: Cut two strips (60 cm long × 8 cm wide). • Neckline Lace: Cut 56 cm (matches chest measurement). 2. Assemble Bodice • Sew Shoulders: Place front/back panels right-sides-together. Sew shoulder seams (1 cm allowance). • Attach Lace: Pin lace trim along neckline edge. Sew with a zigzag stitch. • Add Sleeves: Fold sleeves lengthwise (right-sides-together). Sew short ends to create tubes. Gather raw edge to 20 cm. Pin to armholes, matching centers. Sew. 3. Skirt & Gathering • Gather Skirt: Sew two parallel basting stitches along the top edge of the skirt panels (front/back). Pull threads to gather to 56 cm (chest size). • Attach Skirt: Pin gathered skirt to bodice bottom, right-sides-together. Sew. 4. Side Ties • Fold Ties: Fold each tie strip lengthwise (right-sides-together). Sew long edge, turn right-side-out. Iron flat. • Attach Ties: Pin one end of each tie to side seams (underarm area). Sew securely. 5. Hem & Finish • Hem Sleeves/Skirt: Fold raw edges twice (0.5 cm each fold). Sew. • Close Back (Optional): If no back opening, sew side seams from sleeves to hem. For easy dressing, add snaps or buttons. #babysewing #floraldress #diybabyclothes #sewingtutorial #creativecraftstudio #handmadebaby #toddlerdress #easysewing #craftingfun #sewforbaby Liked this tutorial?
