For your free patterns and tutorial videos, please scroll down to the second set of bullets.
Today’s free pattern is probably the very first pattern I ever posted on this website, so as it says in the disclaimer box under the pattern’s title, it lacks all the bells and whistles of the patterns I create these days.
Back when I first started this blog, my daughters were rapidly outgrowing their dolls, so I designed patterns for them to try sewing.
I can’t remember the occasion for this pattern’s creation, but it could have been that one of my girls wanted to sew a quinceañera dress to give my niece when she turned 15. And I can’t remember whether or not my daughter’s project was ever completed.
But as my niece is now in her mid-20’s, I can’t trust my memory that far back anyway! Both of my daughters are in college too, so I guess I need to think about what I’m going to do when it’s time to celebrate my website’s 10 year anniversary. I’m up for ideas. Feel free to leave them in the comments.
Meanwhile, if you want to make this pretty quinceañera dress, you will need some cotton fabric, tulle, and tiny seed beads (although the beads are optional).
Today’s patterns will fit these dolls:
- Queens of Africa Dolls
- vintage Barbie dolls
- Disney Princess 11 inch dolls (the older ones)
Here are your free, printable PDF sewing patterns and tutorial videos for making the outfit shown at the top of this page:
