And this is a 360 degree view. I made this GIF image but the quality is quite low :(
This is how it looks when I printed just size L and taped all pages together:
A blog to share printable sewing patterns created by me - an ex professional pattern maker who turned indie.

The pattern today is inspired by a dress I found on Pinterest. If I remember exactly, it is a piece by Talbots – and the reason I love it is because of the neckline, it is lovely and unusual, and still easy to sew. The neckline creates an accent to the classic shift dress and makes it more interesting. Also I love the removable sash belt which can be made with leftover fabric when you sew the dress. Just a few hours and you will have a nice day dress!
If you wonder how to make the sash belt: Cut a long strip of fabric, it must be long enough to cover your waist and make a nice bow. I recommend you cut the strip with the length about your waist measurement plus 70 centimeters/27.5 inches, the width of about 15 centimeters/6 inches. You can cut it either along the grainline, or on the bias (however you think would take up the least fabric). Fold and stitch it to make a tube. Turn the tube over and stitch the opening. Press it and you have a sash belt ready to go!
The pattern is created in pdf format using A4 paper. I can also create the pattern in other paper sizes (A0 to A4, Letter, Tabloid), so please inform me if you need them.
Print the patterns on A4 paper at actual size/no scaling/100%. Not sure how to print and cut the patterns? Check the guide here.
Do you want to add side seam pockets to the pattern for additional convenience? Just go ahead because it is too easy, just follow the quick instruction here.
Again, happy sewing! I look forward to seeing your masterpiece!

Cutting instruction:
After taping down all the pages following the instruction, the overall layout of the pattern pieces is much like this (the arrangement of pattern pieces will vary a bit with sizes because I want to utilize all space to result in least pages):
The cutting instruction is for the dress with facings. If you choose to sew the dress with bias binding, skip the front facing and back facing pieces. If you choose to sew the dress with lining, skip the facing pieces and cut a set of front and back pieces in lining fabric.
A. Front - 1pcs
B. Back - 2pcs
C. Front Facing – 1pcs + Fusible Interfacing – 1pcs
D. Back Facing – 2pcs + Fusible Interfacing – 2pcs

Hi all,
It’s been quite some time since I started this blog to share free sewing patterns, and I feel so happy to see more and more visitors from all over the world coming to my blog. I do not know if you find your favorite patterns here or not, but I hope at least you find some inspirations and ideas for your next projects. I also hope to interact with you if possible – so please contact me if you share the same interest with me.
Today I am sharing yet another simple dress pattern – the V neck tunic dress. We all love comfortable clothing, don’t we? I am no exception, and that’s why I love sewing myself tunics. I have a mini collection of tunics in my wardrobe in all kind of colors and prints, and with only variations in neckline shapes and the length of sleeves – and I still love to have more! A few months ago, I already shared the pattern for the slit neck tunic dress (aka. the classic tunic dress pattern, you can find it here), and I am now sharing the newest tunic I just added to my collection.
This tunic dress is super easy to sew – just like any other tunic which are made up of just a few pieces of fabric, but it has a deep V neckline to upgrade it to a sexy dress. Of course, if you choose a stretchy knit fabric, you need to pay extra attention not to make the neckline gaping. Fusible will be your best friend here.
I made this pattern with a zipper at the back of the dress, but if you are not into sewing zippers, just cut the back dress on fold and sew the two pieces together. The zipper should be saved for more sophisticated dresses. And if you want your dress to look more like the expensive hi-end fashion ones, add an invisible zipper. You can even add an exposed metal zipper for statement.
The pattern is created in pdf format using A4 paper. I can also create the pattern in other paper sizes (A0 to A4, Letter, Tabloid), so please inform me if you need them.

Again, happy sewing! I look forward to seeing your masterpiece!
