Description
This is a PDF sewing pattern and tutorial to teach you how to create these garments. YOU WILL NOT RECIEVE ANYTHING IN THE MAIL.
The Rainbow Dress was a dream sketch come true for my daughter, who is my very own rainbow baby. You can have fun creating your rainbow or grab the plain skirt for a fun twirly dress. You can also create a crop or shirt with traditional slim fit sleeves, gathered/puffy sleeves or even add on an adorable peter pan style front collar. Don’t forget to add those pockets to the dress as well so they have somewhere to hold their treasures.
The Rainbow Dress is drafted for a high stretch fabric like cotton spandex, double brushed poly, spandex rib knits, ITY, medium weight sweater knit and the like. The peter pan collar can be woven for some more fun options like lace or sequins!
Options include: crop, shirt, dress, rainbow skirt, plain skirt, slim fit sleeves and gathered sleeves in short, 3/4 and long, peter pan front collar, and pockets.
You can feel extra good purchasing this pattern because 10% of all purchases will be donated to a great cause to help others who have experienced pregnancy and infant loss with the Share Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support Charity (donated at the end of each year).
