Sew cute bloomers for your baby or toddler. This fun project doesn't require a lot of fabric so you can recycle old t-shirts and tops instead of buying new fabric. The bloomers in the picture are cut in one of my sister's old tops. Use only stretch fabric for this project. For a 3 year old, print the pattern so that the reference line on the right measures 10cm.
Scale it up or down for an older or younger child (you won't need to scale it a lot).

80+ Girls Clothing Tutorials « Everything Your Mama Made & More. Origami skirt. (this post was originally published 19 april, 2005, with the title "wearable origami".) i'm taking a break from all the opera talk for a bit, to post a project that ANYBODY can do. in fact, it would make a perfect beginner's project. this is one of my favorite skirts, it is simple and comfortable, but not so plain as an ordinary pull-on skirt. and the beauty of it is that i whipped it up in 30 minutes while ella took a nap (click on the photo for an enlarged view): from the back, you can see that the skirt hem is level, you can barely see the tail hanging in front (click to enlarge): the side of the skirt doesn't start to drop until it gets close to the edge it was sewn to (click to enlarge): AND you don't need a pattern, you only need two measurements: your waist, and the length you want the skirt to be at center back. there is only one seam to this skirt, plus a waistband. cut your fabric as follows, and sew accordingly (click to enlarge): i didn't even hem this skirt!
Magistrate dress. (this post was originally published 12 september, 2007.) this is one of the most popular costume silhouettes there is--the generic "princess/angel/medieval maiden/rennaissance damsel/magical wizard/monk/every-fairy-tale-princess-in-grimms'-anthology" gown. if it makes any difference, ella calls this a magistrate dress. this makes sense only if you are a fan of sagwa. and you won't believe how quickly you can fake this dress. you need one piece of fabric, two cuts, and whatever trim you wish. choose a stretchy fabric so you don't have to have a zipper--i used panne velvet but you could use anything you like. your fabric should be cut as follows: width: distance from one wrist to the other, measured with arms out to your sides.length: distance from top of your shoulder (measured just under the ear) to the floor. multiply this number times 2. then unfold your fabric and find out what shape you have just made!
Rostitchery: twist top with a twist. Yes, this IS a nursing top! It is a variation of the overlap nursing top that i love so much. but you don't have to make it with a nursing access--i'll explain how to make it with and without. start with a t-shirt pattern and make one copy of the front piece. you will be making more pattern copies as you go, so keep your pattern paper handy. (NOTE--copy only the pattern--not the seam allowances! You add those back on when you finish making your pattern). on this first copy, you are going to draw your empire style line. measure down the front of your body from your neck to a point directly between your breasts. mark this point on the pattern center front line. also place a mark on the side seam about 4 inches down from the underarm point. join these two marks with a gentle curve. the exact shape of your curve depends on your bust size--the larger your bust cup, the more your line should curve. the little mark in the middle of this pattern piece indicates the bust point.
That's it! Everything sewing/how to/pillowcase dress. I have already enlarged the templates for you. The smallest one is the original template mentioned in the article that you had to enlarge 150%. All you need to do is print it out and cut it out, on the outside edge of the black line of the pattern as I had to take a black marker to edge it because my paper was white, so the pattern was defined. I made one other one a little larger, because the original was for all sizes, and it was kind of snug up under the armpit for some sizes.
I marked on them the sizes I use each template for. Work with them to see which would be the best size for you.
