Olivia – Kids’ Sweat Dress with Gathered Hem

Sew a cozy and playful sweat dress or longshirt for your child with the “Olivia” sewing pattern – perfect for every season.

This pattern features a dropped waist seam with a softly gathered skirt. You can sew it as a mid-thigh length longshirt or as a knee-length dress.

The dress can be sewn from a single jersey or sweat fabric or two contrasting fabrics – such as different materials for the hood lining, cuffs and skirt to create a fun color-blocked look.

Included in the pattern is an add-on for a simplified hood, which can be sewn without a lining – perfect for quick projects or saving fabric.
This pattern is only available in German. If you need an English translation, please contact me before purchasing!
