Girls Dress Patterns by Anna Vickery

Hello hello, 

Anna here and I’m very excited to be introducing my new range of Sewing Patterns For Children’s Clothing! These are available in printed form from Millie Moon shops and as a download in the Crafty Alex shop. 

They’ve been a long time coming…..I’ve been working with Millie Moon for over a year now and I’ve often been asked when people see my little dresses in the shops ‘Do you have a pattern for that?’ or during workshops ‘Can I buy a pattern?’ and the answer is now YES!!

My mission was to create an easy to follow, multi sized range that was simple to sew at home and that you can buy all the lovely materials you need to make at Millie Moon. 

There’s 3 styles to fit ages 1-5 to start with - a very cute Party Dress with a full skirt, a versatile sleeveless Pinafore Dress and an A-line T Shirt Dress with built in sleeves.

They’ve been a challenge to put together, I had to use my, somewhat rusty and self taught, CAD experience and call upon some of my lovely friends for their help - huge thanks to Chris at Wing’s Art and Design Studio and Aran at Latitude Photography for their skills, and everyone at Millie Moon for their enthusiasm and patience.

I hope you enjoy making the patterns as much as I’ve enjoyed putting them together - all feedback would be much appreciated, I’d love to see photos of your finished dresses and hear your suggestions for the next additions to the range.

Please note…….All my patterns are clearly marked Not For Commercial Use, this means they are for home use only by Mummys, Aunties, Nannys etc making for their friends and family NOT for business or any other monetary gains/sale. 

 I’m also aiming to cover making all the little dresses as workshops at Millie Moon, starting with the Pinafore Dress on 9th February in Keynsham and 27^th April in Frome - these workshops include all materials too, bargain. x

Patterns - The classic T Shirt Pattern

Time for another new pattern available for download. This is the super useful and versatile classic t-shirt pattern. 

The pattern comes in three graded sizes and can be made in stretch jersey or woven cottons and silks. We made our sample in a pretty white embroidered cotton with a black satin trim to highlight the neckline and keyhole back.

This is a great pattern for making little luxe t shirts in lace or silk too, try adding a collar for a smart day top or embellishing the cuffs.

The downloadable pattern comes with all three sizes and photographed instructions on how to sew the t shirt. Very easily prints on 5 pieces of A4 paper. Purchase from our Etsy shop here. 

Patterns - Six Collar Pattern Download

Introducing our new set of collar patterns available for instant download via pdf. In the pack you get six collar designs, from the pretty scallop edge to the classic Peter Pan collar and tailored gentleman's collar.
Also included is the pattern for a collar stand so you have the option of making a traditional tailored collar or a ribbon tie collar in a raw edged fabric like leather or our glitter.

Available to download from our shop here.

Our First Pattern - Sweet Heart Bodice Pattern

We've been planning to make available some of our key and most useful patterns and at last here is the very first pattern available for download.

The sweetheart bodice was chosen to be first as it's one of our most used patterns and for all of you printing out the pattern, each piece fits easily onto A4. No need for sticking all those pieces of paper together like a jigsaw before you've even started.

The pattern comes graded in five sizes and contains the instructions you need to make the bodice from start to finish including the zip.

You can download the pattern here from our Etsy shop and have a fabulous bodice ready to wear by the weekend!
