Pattern Description: The Popover Sundress is a loose-fitting, A-line sundress in sizes 2-8. It features a contrast yoke with bias ties at the shoulder. This pattern makes an excellent first project for a new seamstress or a quick project that provides almost instant gratification for someone with a bit more experience.

Pattern Sizing: Sizes 2 to 8 (girls). You can also print out a pattern for an 18" dolls version!

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes

Were the instructions easy to follow? The instructions were clear and it included helpful diagrams.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? It's a simple design that allows you to be creative with fabric choices. Did I mention it was free?

Fabric Used: Lightweight cotton (blue and green) and purchased bias binding.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I made a size 6 (for a 6 year old) without alteration.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I will be sewing it again. It's a quick sew that makes a great gift.

Conclusion: Do you have a little girl in your life to sew for? If yes, what are you waiting for? Go and download this pattern now!

Thanks for the review & for giving us the link to the free pattern. I am teaching a friend to sew, and I think this will be a perfect pattern. She has 2 little nieces to sew for.
