DIY: Plaid silk dress with pockets for girls

January 22, 2015~ SEWING

Remember this plaid silk fabric I bought?  Right when I saw it I knew it’d make a perfect Christmas dress.  I initially wanted to make it for myself, but then decided it would be cuter on a little girl.  I envisioned a simple short sleeve tunic dress with front pockets and this is the result:

It has gold lining inside which makes it even more perfect as a Christmas dress, don’t you think?  Since it’s such a simple design, I didn’t use a pattern and traced one of the girl’s dresses for the sleeves and the bodice.  
What you’ll need(for one dress):
-1 yard of fabric
-1 yard of lining
-matching thread
-needle or sewing machine
-scissors
-buttons
Estimated time: 2 hrs.
Budget: $13
Skill level: A confident beginner or intermediate
