Most PDF patterns sold come with a complete tutorial. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/patterns-for-very-easy-to-sew-kids-clothes#post-687535 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 14:24:58 +0000 T.H.O.U. 687535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all the suggestions! I agree, these online tutorials are a bit easier to follow than patterns. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/patterns-for-very-easy-to-sew-kids-clothes#post-686872 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 11:57:33 +0000 Cole 686872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oliver and S is well known for having very well written patterns. You could start with their Lazy Days skirt to get going: <a href="http://oliverands.com/blog/2008/08/lazy-days-skirt-free-pattern.html" rel="nofollow">http://oliverands.com/blog/2008/08/lazy-days-skirt-free-pattern.html</a> They also have a free pattern for a pillowcase style dress and a ruffled top. </p> <p>Figgy's Patterns has this dress which should be very simple: <a href="http://figgyspatterns.com/patterns/ofelia/" rel="nofollow">http://figgyspatterns.com/patterns/ofelia/</a></p> <p>I like Made by Rae's work too, she has this rainbow dress pattern: <a href="http://www.made-by-rae.com/2011/08/rainbow-dress-tutorial/" rel="nofollow">http://www.made-by-rae.com/2011/08/rainbow-dress-tutorial/</a></p> <p>There are some good options here too: <a href="http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/category/kids-clothes-month/" rel="nofollow">http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/category/kids-clothes-month/</a></p> <p>I feel like often tutorials are easier to start with over patterns because they come with lots of pictures and often have a bit more room for error. Small pattern companies seem to do directions better than the big ones. You can also try sewing books like Anna Maria Horner's Handmade Beginnings or Sew Liberated's books both of which have some patterns for clothes among other things.</p> <p>Craftsy has a class on a romper for girls: <a href="http://www.craftsy.com/class/kids-romper-revamp-creative-pattern-adapting/100" rel="nofollow">http://www.craftsy.com/class/kids-romper-revamp-creative-pattern-adapting/100</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/patterns-for-very-easy-to-sew-kids-clothes#post-686854 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 11:53:13 +0000 tysonja 686854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think i would start with skirts! so versatile and cute!</p> <p>here is a free pattern for one:<br /> <a href="http://oliverands.com/free-patterns/" rel="nofollow">http://oliverands.com/free-patterns/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/patterns-for-very-easy-to-sew-kids-clothes#post-686763 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 11:36:07 +0000 T.H.O.U. 686763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am looking for ideas on simple patterns for dresses to make my daughter. I think dresses will be the easiest to start with? I have a sewing machine but very basic skills and limited time. Everything on pintrest looks more advanced than I could do with trim and ruffles. </p>
