So I used the pattern I printed out yesterday to make another version of the OG Snappy Toddler Top. This time I went dress length and used contrasting fabric for the neck and the bias tape trim. 
Is this fabric to die for or what? It’s Monaluna for Birch Fabrics Circa 50 line in Starburst Pool (neckline and bias tape trim) and Chairs Multi (dress body) designed by our very own Cynthia of Fabricworm. Working with it was amazing – the texture is so lovely, probaby because it’s 100% organic cotton.
Get the Snappy Toddler Top (or dress) Pattern here and learn How to Make Bias Tape here. And check out the rest of this great fabric collection here. And remember, any comment you leave this week could win you a 1/2 yard of Nicey Jane oilcloth from Fabricworm!

What toddler doesn't LOVE midcentury chairs? Hendrix's first word was "Eames." Honestly I love it though.

I have also been adapting the shirt pattern into a dress. In fact, except for the first time, all others have been dress length. I love it!!!

I may have to make this adorable piece even though I don't have a baby girl! Great for getting an early start on holiday gifts.

love your patterns! any chance you'll be doing a tutorial on drafting your own patterns any time soon? I could really use some advice!
[Reply]

I just bought a bias tape maker and have got to find time to try it out! How about you post directions for a snappy twenty-six-year-old dress?? That'd be great! I'd love it in this fabric…
[Reply]
loovee it… so cutee!!!
[Reply]
LOVE!!! I need to pull my machine out!!

Reason 1 million why I should just NOT sew… I love this dress so I finally decided to make it. This took a lot of courage as I'm terrified of making clothes. Everything was looking great so I sewed the front neck on and then the back, when I went to snap them together I realized that I sewed the back neck BACKWARDS!!!! Ok, now that I vented I better go pull out my seem ripper and hope it doesn't look too bad!

I cannot wait to make this dress! Now I need to go through my fabric stash and pick something. *Fingers crossed that I need to go fabric shopping*

How should i resize this to fit my daughter who wears size 3-6 mos?
[Reply]
Could you use satin? Normally I only use cotton, but I need to make my daughter a summer flower girl dress and this would be just adorable in the matching satin the ladies are wearing, and add hand made organza flowers to the neckline or make a sash out of a different color. All of your fantastic patterns have so many more uses, I LOVE them! Thank you!
[Reply]
OK, it's been a long time, but I'm going to share what I made. I didn't have bias tape so I used a small ribbon. I blogged about it. Check it out:

I love this dress and have some fab Day of the Dead fabric to make a cute Hallowe'en dress for my two and a half year old… BUT am I missing the tutorial for how to put it together somewhere? I'm not a great seamstress, so I need some help, please!

I’ve made this yesterday, my first project made from a pattern! Thank you so much for sharing, it looks darling. I very much appreciate the tutorials with printable patterns, they make life easy for a beginner sewer.
Thank you!

Hello! Thank you for sharing this pattern! I write from Italy and so I apologize for my English. I tried to make the dress for my daughter who is 8 months old. I think it was wrong to download the format of the model because I had a little ‘small. However, I have given up and try again soon. Thank you so much, Katy.

I always feel funny posting comments on posts from like, 2 years ago, but thank you for the pattern! I am soooo excited to make this for my baby girl! Looks perfect for summer! Thanks!

This fabric is so unique! It makes you happy just looking at it!

Hey! Loved the tutorial and made this for my little girl… changed it up a bit and used two layers to make a blue and white sunday-and-visiting-grandma dress
Thanks a bunch!

Just wanted to double check and make sure it’s okay to have this pinned on Pinterest! If it’s not, please let me know and I will remove it ASAP!
I LOVE this dress!

Thank you for the pattern!

In truth this was an incredible indepth write-up nonetheless as with most excellent writers there are several items that might be proved helpful on. However never ever the significantly less it was stimulating.
