Carolynne's birthday dress...
Jumper with attached ruffle
** edited to add**
I was asked if this was a pullover jumper
and what pattern I used.
I used Simplicity's #8340
children's jumper pattern.
I believe it is out-of-print now,
however, any jumper pattern can be used.
This pattern is NOT zipper free,
but I, also, did NOT use a zipper.
I fully lined the bodice (which I usually do)
and sewed the back up the middle
where the zipper was suppose to go.
Therefore, there is a seam in the back
but no zipper. ;o)
And it pulls over the head nicely.
Dress for Mama...
Square neck dress with ribbon waist

and worketh willingly with her hands."
~ Proverbs 31:13
"She layeth her hands to the spindle,
and her hands hold the distaff."
~ Proverbs 31:19

Is this a pullover jumper with no buttons or zippers? If so can you share where you got the pattern? This is the perfect pattern for my girls. Hard to find too!
Thanks

They are both beautiful. I love the material in Carolynne's dress.
I have used this pattern for my 6 year old also. It is so easy. I found the pattern at a thrift store. I was only 25 cents. God is so good.
Carolynne looks so cute and happy with her new dress...adorable...like to have seen you in yours..love the material.
Love Ya;Mom
Soooo beautiful! I love the fabric choices, too :)
Have a wonderful day!

I love seeing your new projects. The material in the birthday dress is SO cute!
Stacy ~ I hope the information I added was helpful. ;o)
Mrs. U ~ Thank you. I understand about overcoming that fear. For years I didn't know how to sew but the necessity for us was too great so I had to learn. Now I love it. ;o)
Marci ~ Thank you! *Ü*
Claudia ~ Yes, this pattern is pretty easy. What a blessing you found it so inexpensively!
Mom ~ She does like it very much. ;o) lol I thought you might say something about me not being in my dress. I'll try to add me in the pic next time I sew for myself. ;o) Love you!
Tamara ~ Thank you! ;o)
Casey ~ Thank you, too. *Ü*
I thought I'd add a side note about the fabric for Carolynne's dress.
I've had that material for about 9 years or so. My aunt (who is with the Lord now) gave it to me in a box full of fabric, those many years ago. She loved cats, which is why there are cats in the print. I've been waiting to make something with that fabric and I thought Carolynne's dress would be perfect for it!

You are very talented! Both dresses are lovely.
Blessings, Jess
BEAUTIFUL!
I wish I wasnt so afraid of patterns.. I have no problem just making stuff up, but as far as a pattern goes.. I freeze.. and I have some of the CUTEST patters too :(
ONE DAY! :)
Those are both beautiful! You are so talented in sewing! :D
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Carolynne!!!! She is growing up so fast.
What beautiful dresses. Carolynne is such a cutie pie and your dress is beautiful. I look forward to seeing you wear it in an upcoming photo :). I know it can vary, but have you ever figured out about how much it costs you to make a dress?
What beautiful dresses! I love Carolynne's jumper - it's so precious! I'm just starting to get into sewing...I'm nowhere near as good at it as you are though! I'm sure I'll get better with time! What a blessing it is to make lovely things for the family! :-)
