Scraps of coordinating fabric (for pockets)
Measurements – child’s chest, length for armholes and length of dress

Step 5 – Take front dress piece and place over folded fabric. Cut back piece while using front piece as a guide. You may want to pin it.
This is what you should have.
Step 6- Remove cat from your work area!
Step 7 – Take your scraps and find something to use as a guide to cut them in the shape you want them to be. Well, I guess you could just eye-ball it…. LOL Cut 4.

Turn right side out and press.

Step 11 – Pin the pockets on the front and sew the 3 sides.
Step 12 – Place the front and the back right sides together. Pin the tops of the dress and both sides. Sew them together. Press your seams.
Step 13 – Open your bias tape and pin it around the neckline and armholes. Sew it in place and press.
Step 14 – Turn a 1/2 over on the bottom, press and turn it in another 1/2″. Press and pin. Sew your hem and press again! (I pressed the whole thing one more time.. LOL)
