HOLLY JUMPER DRESS
MODKID's Newest PDF Sewing Pattern
Well, as you have probably noticed already, we are really embracing the PDF revolution! We started producing these downloadable e-patterns in November of last year, and so far we have 6 already produced with a few more on the way. So far we are hearing wonderful things about them, but we'd love to hear more. Leave us a comment for your chance to win a free PDF pattern of your choice!
Today, we are thrilled to announce the newest addition to our e-pattern line up. It's called the
HOLLY JUMPER DRESS. Holly is an adorable jumper dress that can be worn with or without an undershirt. It features a series of skinny shoulder straps that weave in a beautiful pattern onto a racerback bodice, and two very full gathered skirts for maximum twirl power. A couple of drawstrings at the front give the overskirt a scalloped look, letting the underskirt peek out ever so slightly. It comes in sizes 2T to 10 all in the same pattern, just like our paper patterns do.
Find it on
ETSY and
CRAFTSY (and coming soon to an e-vendor near you!) :)
My favorite feature in this pattern is the back bodice. Here's a closer look at the way those four straps intertwine in the back. LOVE IT!
I also love the scalloped skirt. Those drawstrings are so sweet! Check out the amazing photos I've received from my testers...
