Hey, DIY enthusiasts! Welcome back to our channel.

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned seamstress, this tutorial will guide you through the process with ease.
Step 1: Gather Your Materials
Before we dive in, make sure you have all the necessary materials handy. You’ll need fabric of your choice, buttons, thread, sewing machine, scissors, measuring tape, and any other embellishments you desire.
Step 2: Take Measurements
First things first, let’s take measurements for the baby frock. Measure the chest, waist, and length to ensure a perfect fit. Don’t forget to account for seam allowances.
Step 3: Draft the Pattern
Using the measurements, draft the pattern pieces for the bodice, sleeves, collar, and belt. You can adjust the dimensions based on your preference for the puffiness of the sleeves and the length of the frock.
Step 4: Cut the Fabric
Once the pattern pieces are ready, carefully cut the fabric according to the pattern. Pay attention to the grainline to ensure proper drape and fit.
Step 5: Sew the Bodice
Start by sewing the bodice pieces together, leaving openings for the button placket and the sleeves. Press the seams open for a neat finish.
Step 6: Attach the Sleeves
Next, attach the puff sleeves to the bodice. Gather the sleeve head to create the desired puffiness and ease it into the armhole. Stitch in place and press the seams.
Step 7: Add the Collar
Now, it’s time to add the turn-down collar. Align the collar pieces with the neckline of the bodice and stitch them together. Trim any excess fabric and press the seam.
Step 8: Create the Button Placket
To create the button placket, fold and press the edges of the fabric to the inside, creating a clean finish. Topstitch along the edge to secure the placket in place.
Step 9: Sew the Belt
Lastly, sew the belt by folding the fabric in half lengthwise, right sides together, and stitching along the edge. Turn it inside out, press, and topstitch for a professional look.
Step 10: Final Touches
Finish off your baby frock by adding buttons to the placket and any embellishments you desire. Give it a final press, and voila! Your adorable button placket turn-down collar puff sleeve belted baby frock is ready to charm.
