The pattern comes with free pattern pieces and step-by-step instructions to sew it from 12 months to 10 years in size.

This makes it perfect for any beginner seamstress. The pattern comes from 6 months to 10 years.
3) Peasant Dress
Peasant dresses are loved by all little girls. They are roomy and comfortable to wear. The elastic along the neckline gives the dress the perfect shape it needs. The fact that they are easy for on and off, makes them one of the desired outfits for babies too. This little girl’s dress pattern does not require extensive sewing. There is no gathering required and the lack of zippers or buttons makes it extremely easy to sew. There are options to sew it with short or long sleeves, which makes it all-weather wear. Here I have simplified the DIY peasant dress sewing project and made it in just 5 steps. There are templates and instructions to sew it from 6 months to 6 years in age.
