I'm only just beginning my motherhood journey so still have some time until I sew for these aged, but these patterns are so cute! Being tiny (small 4'10) I'm tempted to try some of them for myself 🤭
I have the Simplicity 9617. In fact, my 9 year old granddaughter wore the ruffled dress to church yesterday! I also have Butterick 3860. I have made the shift dress several times for the Dress a Girl Around the World. I leave off the facing and use bias binding on the arm holes and the neckline so that it has a tie enclosure. Good video! 🤗
I have 4 kids that I sew for. 3 great pattern companies that I mostly use are Littlelizardking, Ellieandmac, and Violette fields. They are all pdf pattern companies but I swear by them.
Love the cargo pants! Waves and wild is a great pattern company for kids, the free leggings pattern has been my go to for my boys. And the sew over it kids range Poppy and Jazz is fab for smaller humans!
Hi Sally, great vlog, you have chosen some gorgeous patterns. I am a mum of the male species, and unfortunately there is a distinct lack of nice boys sewing patterns.
Thanks sally for these patterns, good choices. I sew a lot for my 8 year old niece. She tells her friends her auntie makes her clothes and they are original and only for her, bless her. I love making for her. X
Thanks for such a great pattern review - some definite inspiration to take away and with labels such a great way of personalising the garment - thanks again!
I like to sew for my kids and you had some great pattern suggestions. I enjoy your videos for women's sewing but it was fun to see something geared towards kids too. Thanks for another great video!
Thankyou Sally, my great - granddaughters have recently realised that they can ask for particular outfits made, with their choice of colour or pattern. I have made notes of all the different patterns you reviewed to show them on their next visit. 🎉

I love this video! I started making my little one the Geranium dress last year and this is great to branch out and do more for her - thank you for putting them together!!
