Hello there! This is Anshu from Blooms And Bugs. I’m back with another dress pattern and tutorial perfect for fall.
Ever since I have drafted a peasant dress pattern, I have been playing around with different design elements to make the most of it. Here is a cute dress made with mixing a bunch of Clothworks collections ( Suzette, Picnic Pals, Safari Sweet) and adding in some fun details like ruffles, belt, easy appliques etc.
Supplies:
Coordinating fabrics in different prints
I chose the following fabrics:
Suzette for bodice and ruffle at the hem – half yard
Picnic Pals for Sleeves and belt fabric – half yard
Safari Sweet for skirt – half yard
Orange felt fabric
Approximate time: 2 hours
Skill Level: Beginner

I love the name of this collection. I’m a little biased. My name is Susie, afterall, and Suzette sounds like some darling French term of endearment rolling off the tongue of a grandmother calling to her grandbaby. These photos capture the feeling I get when I look at this collection so perfectly–I hear Suzette being called and see that sweet little girl smiling. This came to me via Facebook (thanks Sue!) and the photographer is Susan Gary. After a little clicking around, I figured out that the dress can be purchased on Etsy in a store called LittleRascals3. If you want to see more about this collection, Blooms ‘n’ Bugs posted a very sweet, free dress pattern and tutorial a while back on The Works. And, the full collection by Sue Zipkin can be seen by clicking here.
Hello, I’m Anshu from Blooms And Bugs. Today I’m here with a tutorial to sew a pretty floral dress for little girls. I have always had this idea of a dainty little dress with very girly design elements like gathered shoulder straps ( sleeves), a cinched belt in the front and layered skirt. Often when I think of design, I have a clear picture of how it will all go together, but for this dress I didn’t have everything chalked out. I just thought this beautiful floral print ( Suzette by Sue Zipkin for Clothworks) was perfect for putting my ideas to reality and everything just fell into place. I’m so pleased with how it all came together. My little miss wore it the other day and it just looked so good on her…I hope you would like it too and make it for your little bella.

These are looking lovely on bolts. I can’t wait to see projects! The Shasta you see here (top) is just the dots, look here for the whole collection by Shelley Wicks and Jeanne Large of The Quilt Patch. And, the Suzette has tonals, florals and a few other very sweet prints, all a very hand-painted character by Sue Zipkin.
