Skater Dress Pattern

So far I have made 8 versions of Kitschy Coo's Little Girls' Skater Dress:

Little Red Riding Hood Dress
(Fabric from Kitschy Coo)

The favourite, Anchor Dress

A t-shirt using the Skater bodice with a hem band as I underestimated the length!
(Fabric from Kitschy Coo)

Another t-shirt, this time with the correct length
(Fabric from Kitschy Coo)

Penguin dress
(Fabric from Kitschy Coo)

Peplum tunic made using the tutorial from Kitschy Coo
(Fabric from Kitschy Coo)

Kwazii from the Octonauts Costume using a lengthened bodice with a hem band and self drafted trousers and a self drafted tail!

 Octonauts Birthday Dress made using sweat shirting from Kitschy Coo and flocking from here.

So what better pattern to turn to when I needed a quick make as Élodie is completely out of summer clothes:


I added the ruffles on the bodice by eyeballing rows of pleats and then sewing them down using a triple zigzag stitch.

I know there are better ways of doing this, but it worked for me and it was quick!

Lovely, satisfying Sunday afternoon sewing!

  1. Wow! What gorgeous clothes you have made for your daughter! I am definitely inspired to get cracking on making some kids clothes, especially as Evan literally has no summer clothes to wear! X
