5234
Simplicity pattern 5234 was the first to capture my imagination last year for children’s clothes for Helping Hands Touching Hearts. This pattern required less material than other choices. I made six size 14 dresses last year from my fabric stash, some with pockets, all sleeveless finished with bias tape.
To complete my sewing for this year’s donation, I returned to 5234 making four size 10 dresses with cap sleeves. Sleeves are a better value than bias tape (unless you make your own). The turquoise and brown fabric was a $3/yard remnant. The solid brown fabric was part of my stash. I ran out of time to try appliqueing a flower on the solid top. Next year 🙂
