Read MoreKids' Sewing ~ Doll Peasant Dresses
/I mentioned last week that I have been sharing my sewing machines with my daughters. I want to make sure that my girls know how to sew because I want them to be self-sufficient adults one day and not bug me to do their mending. I hate mending. These doll clothes were sewn by my daughters. Doll peasant dresses are a really good beginner sewing project! It is one of the first things I teach my girls to sew. I usually have to help them with the elastic casings around the neckline until they are more experienced, but the rest of the dress is simple enough that they just need a little coaching.
Once you get the basic peasant dresses mastered, you can increase the difficulty with details like bows and trims.
Elastic sleeves at any length change the dress up with one simple addition. If you shorten it to a tunic length it is really cute with leggings, too.
Here are the patterns/tutorials if anyone wants to give it a try!
They can easily make a matching girls' dress, too!
