Free sewing pattern: Veronica dress

Hi guys,

I guess I should name my patterns, because I just find out that if I just list the features of the garment (like short sleeve, round neck, knee length, etc.), some of them will be really long, or will cause confusion with the same name for different model. So from now on, you will see the pattern with a name, I just name them randomly to my liking.

And the first dress with a name I am sharing today is the Veronica dress.

This dress features a deep V neckline, a gathered front, and a flared skirt. It is simple and easy, and it will make you beautiful I'm sure. 

Here is a 3D simulation of the Veronica dress:

 And this is how it looks on a size M model. 

And this is how it looks on a size XXL model. Still adorable, huh? I really love how the fit and flare form flatters the curves of the wearer, no matter what their body shape is.

The pattern is made using layered PDF, please check for your size before printing so you won’t waste your paper. If you still do not know how to print a layered PDF, please check for the instruction here.

You can print this using your home printer and A4/Letter paper. I calculated the printing area so that you will be able to use either type of paper to print the pattern out perfectly. Always print the first page first and check with the test square if you are printing at the right scale before you print out the whole pattern.

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.

Cutting instruction:

This is how you will get if you print all sizes. Messy, huh? Just print what you need, you won't get confused.

The cutting instruction is for the garment with facings. If you choose to sew it with bias binding, skip the front facing and back facing pieces. If you choose to sew with bodice lining, skip the facing pieces and cut a set of front and back pieces in lining fabric.

A. Front - 2pcs

B. Back - 2pcs

C. Front Skirt - 1pcs

D. Back Skirt - 2pcs

E. Front Facing – 1pcs + Fusible Interfacing – 1pcs

F. Back Facing – 2pcs + Fusible Interfacing – 2pcs

REPOST: Pattern for the staple sheath dress

As requested by one of my dear readers, I am posting here the pattern for the Staple sheath dress. I posted it long ago when I was still a newbie in pattern making, and now I have made some adjustments to the pattern and the files, I think it's time to post the new pattern files for you to use.

This pattern is a nested pattern, which contains all the sizes from XXS to XXL. It is more convenient for those who have multiple sized body (for example, a L size bust, a XL waist and a XXL size hip). You can use the trick of grading between sizes to get the pattern more fitted to your body.

The pattern is also made so that you can print it either on A4 paper or on Letter paper. You will not have to worry that there will be something left not printed if you use a different paper size from what I have to offer. Just print the first page at actual size/full scale/100% and check the measurement before you print all the remaining pages.

Attention: check your size carefully before cutting, using this Size chart.

No more rambling now, I gladly present the pattern for the Staple sheath dress for you, my dear readers:

Enjoy your sewing journey. Love!

Free PDF sewing pattern: Hi-low flounce hem gown (petite size XXS-XXL)

Hi guys,

I am presenting the petite size version of the the pattern for the hi-low flounce hem gown, as promised. I really love it when I receive feedback from you, my dear readers.

I just realized that there is a way to create multi-layered PDF files, in which I can put each size in one layer, and then you can print individual sizes separately. Voila, you will no longer need to carefully trace your size from a bunch of lines and dots. However, I am still working on this new feature, so please be patient and bear with my currently very messed up pattern files.

The nested patterns that I've posted recently are made to be printed in actual size on both A4 and letter paper, so you don't have to worry about paper sizes any more. Just use your home printer and A4 or letter paper, which one available at your place and print the patterns out. 

Remember to print out the first page where I put the test square of 10cm/4in before you continue. Some people complained that they had the pattern printed smaller than the actual size and came up with very tight garments. Don't waste your time and fabric because of this carelessness.

Printed pattern after taping all the pages together

As usual, please check the size chart your size before cutting. If you belong to the group of multi-sized body, you can grade between sizes. There are a few tutorials on the Internet showing you how to grade between sizes. I will make one when I have time.

Now back to the pattern: you can download it here - the Hi-low flounce hem gown (petite size XXS-XXL).

Love,

Round neck short sleeve fit and flare dress pattern

(Scroll down to the end of the post for download links)

I am posting a pattern for a very popular dress that can be seen everywhere – a round neck short sleeve fit and flare dress. It is so basic and still so stylish and feminine that I’m sure any woman would have at least one in her wardrobe.

The flared skirt can be a gathered skirt or a pleated skirt. In the image below, this Carolina Herrera dress has a gathered skirt, and the technical drawing shows the pleated skirt. Each will give you a nice dress – the gathered one is more casual (and requires less attention to sew) than the pleated one.

If you are sewing with fairly thick and bodied fabric, I recommend you to use the pleats – they will not bulk up your waist. If you use thin and flowy fabric, any choice is fine.

This pattern is a regular fitting one, with added eases as shown in the table below:

Ease around bust	9.00 cm	3.54 in
Ease around waist	12.00 cm	4.72 in
Ease around hips	10.50 cm	4.09 in
Ease around full hips	7.00 cm	2.76 in
Ease around overarm	12.00 cm	4.72 in
Ease around wrist	12.00 cm	4.72 in

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.

Super easy A line mini dress pattern

Hi there,

It’s been a week since my last post, because I have been on summer vacation. We had a great time enjoying seafood and bathing in the sun. I got so tanned that when we came home, my neighbor could barely recognize me, ha ha.

The dress pattern I share in this post has a straight skirt. If you prefer a pencil design, narrow down the side seams, starting from the fullest part of the hip (marked with notches) down to hemline. It is a really quick modification, mark a point at the hemline at the desired width of skirt hemline and draw a straight line from the hip notch to the marked point. Then redraw the seam allowance and cut the pieces. It is similar to the demonstration below – the red lines are new side lines, the blue lines are new seam allowance lines.

Dressing like a royal: 3/4 sleeve boat neck sheath dress pattern

(Scroll down to the end of the post for download links)

The pattern today is inspired by many dresses worn by Queen Maxima of the Netherlands – a fashion icon that I really love, much more than the skinny Kate Middleton. It features a bateau neckline, 3/4 sleeves and just above the knee length – simple, modest and elegant huh? This dress is suitable for almost any settings that you need to dress up a bit – for a wedding, a dinner date or a professional meeting. Do you want to look like an elegant royal? I do. And the result is that I have lots of this style in my closet :)

Sleeveless slit neck center front pleat skirt dress pattern

(Scroll down to the end of the post for download links)

Hi there,

I am posting the pattern for this lovely dress – a simple one that can be worn from day to night, from work to dinner date. It features a slit neckline and a center front pleat skirt. The original dress is a design by MM.LaFleur, a French style fashion brand with a lot of lovely pieces for women who work. I really love their designs, they are simple and practical and suitable for professional environment. And oh how I wish I can establish such a wonderful brand like this, in my country!

Of course, all I can do now is dream. I know there are much more to fashion industry than just enthusiasm – you need to know about marketing, PR, you need to understand about finance and business, you need to have capital and you need to have companions. I am just a woman who can make patterns and sew, and having no support from family and friends, but I do wish one day I can get enough money to start a small business in this glamorous industry. Before that, I am happy and content with sharing the patterns with those who love to sew!

Back to the dress I am sharing today, 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.

Deep sweetheart neckline sheath dress

(Scroll down to the end of the post for download links)

Hi there,

Let’s take a look at today’s dress pattern. Do you think that this darling is somewhat vintage looking? And it also looks like a lot of high-street fashion. If you do not believe me, just visit nordstrom.com, theoutnet.com, etc. to see the brands like Victoria Beckham, Roland Mouret, Stella McCartney or Michael Kors – you will find a lot of similar designs.

This dress features a deep sweetheart neckline, half sleeve and below the knee length. It is suitable for special events, so choose a luxury fabric to make it look classy and elegant. You will definitely feel confident in this dress!

The dress pattern I share in this post has a straight skirt. If you prefer a pencil design, narrow down the side seams, starting from the fullest part of the hip (marked with notches) down to hemline. It is a really quick modification, mark a point at the hemline at the desired width of skirt hemline and draw a straight line from the hip notch to the marked point. Then redraw the seam allowance and cut the pieces. It is similar to the demonstration below – the red lines are new side lines, the blue lines are new seam allowance lines.

And because this is going to be a high-class dress, I recommend that it be made with full lining or bodice lining. Be patient and extra careful when you sew the neckline – it will affect the whole look.

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.

Sleeveless 8 panel skirt dress

(Scroll down to the end of the post for download links)

A line shape is a miracle dress shape that is suitable for almost any body type. It flatters your body without too much effort – drawing eyes to the waist of a pear or heart shape bodies, de-emphasizing the hips and adding appearance of sexy curves for those who are too skinny or have a boxy body. I am totally in love with A line dresses and made myself a bunch of them – they do great in balancing my huge breasts and small hips. Whenever I feel uncertain about what to wear, my choice would almost be an A line dress.

I ran across this beautiful little black dress on Pinterest. It features a slit neck detail and A line knee long 8 panel skirt which is sleek and stylish and can make a nice outfit for many occasions. It can be easily mixed with belts or cardigan for a casual work day, or a day out with your BFFs.

The advantage of sewing your own clothes would be that you can sew many dresses with just one pattern. You can make a black dress for work, and a bright floral one for a picnic. It is up to your creativity! That is why I love sewing, and hope to share this hobby with everyone.

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.

Tight neckline half circle dress pattern

(Scroll down to the end of the post for download links)

This dress features a tight neckline, short sleeves and below the knee half circle skirt. This dress is so modest and feminine and can be worn to many events, from a day date to meeting parents. It is also easy to mix with accessories like purse and high heels. And of course you can be confident in this dress because this design flatters almost any type of body shape, especially when you have narrow hips just like me – it balances the upper and lower part of your body and gives you an hourglass silhouette.

This dress can be sewn with many types of fabrics – from lace to chiffon to jersey knit. I was so in love with this deep red lace dress on Asos that I found myself a good piece of lace to sew this and wear it to my best friend’s wedding (I have very bad impression with buying clothes online – they look so different on the website). It takes a bit more time to sew with lace because you will need to sew with lining but it is worthwhile – who would not love a beautiful lace dress?

The dress 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.

Y dart A line dress pattern

(Scroll down to the end of the post for download links)

The dress today features a bateau neckline, 3/4 sleeves, A line skirt with center front box pleat and below the knee length. The front bodice darts have been moved to make a Y shaped detail to add some structure to the whole look. This is a modest design that is suitable for almost any kinds of occasion – from work to dinner date. Feel free to use any fabric you like, because each will give you a different delight.

I personally love the A line skirts, because it helps hide my narrow hips and balance with the heavy top while not undermining my height (you know I’m short, just 1.55m). It is also great when you make it with flowy fabric – imagine how it moves when you walk, so feminine and sweet! I have quite some simple A line skirt dresses, so this time I am adding a center front pleat. Although it will not affect much if you sew the dress with prints, but if you sew the dress with solid color, it will become a nice detail.

As usual, the dress 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.

Simple A line dress

(Scroll down to the end of the post for download links)

Do you think this little black dress is cute? I am in love with this simple and sleek design, and decided to share this pattern with you. This dress features a tight round neckline, above the knee length and sleeveless design. And I think that even when you make this dress with different colors and prints, it will still be a nice and simple piece to choose when you are tired of opening the full wardrobe and finding it hard to choose what to wear.

I made myself a little black dress with this pattern, and I chose to make it with bodice lining instead of facing. I always think that using lining makes the dress more high-class, just like how the high end fashion brands always do with their designs.

You will find sewing with lining takes you just a little more time than sewing with interfacing. I will not talk about how to sew with lining because you can easily find them on the Internet. One small tip for sewing clean lining to the main fabric: Cut the seam allowance of the lining 0.5 centimeter smaller than the main fabric pieces, so that when you sew them together, the main fabric will roll inside and the lining will not be shown.

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!

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 number of pages):

The cutting instruction is for the garment with facings. If you choose to sew it with bias binding, skip the front facing and back facing pieces. If you choose to sew with bodice lining, skip the facing pieces and cut a set of front and back pieces in lining fabric.

Easy deep V neck sleeveless mini dress

This is just another super easy baby to sew, and it is so versatile that you can make many dresses from just this pattern!

I can imagine myself wearing this dress in sequined fabric at an evening party with friends and loud music. And I can also imagine myself wearing it in embroidered velvet in romantic night date with my hubby. And of course, these are just my dreams, because I am now so busy with my little boy. Finally, to soothe my sewing desire, I settled myself with cotton jersey, and got a comfortable dress to wear any time of the day.

Ladies, as you may see, there are a lot of choices for you with just this simple pattern. Choose a fabric that you like and you will have a new dress in just about an hour.

This 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. I added side seam pockets to this dress and put almost anything from my cell phone to small changes and baby towel, just to free my hands for my always moving baby.

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

If you want to skip the back zipper, it’s totally fine, just remove the seam allowance at the back and cut the back piece on fold. You will be surprised how easy it turns out to be, just a few seams and your dress is ready!
