A Nice Jumper Dress

[@jennair94young30]

Thanks so much for the tip on tying old thread to new thread to re-thread the machine! It was so helpful!

[@nancythomas5426]

Now, that brought back a lot of sweet memories of my sewing for my 4 girls in preparation for Easter and SPRING. Actually I don't remeber all the different patterns I used, but I do remember sewing well into the morning hours because I wanted the dress to be a Surprise for them. I would go to the Local fabric store and buy rements and make beautiful little dresses. Now I wish I had someone to sewfor....maybe someday...Thank_You for y ride down Memory Lane.

[@rosemariegreenland106]

Absolutely the best toddler dress pattern with great video tutorial! I added pockets and snaps, was done in no time at all. Since I don't have a serger I used my Singer without any problem, Thank you Donna for your great tutorials!

[@Ardyce1]

I made these for my 3 granddaughters when they were growing up over 20 years ago. Now want to make some for my great granddaughter. This is a great refresher for me. Thank you.

[@suem5213]

Donna, I can’t get enough of your tutorials. You’re an awesome teacher. I’m an old seamstress but fairly new to quilts. I just love all the new pattern. Thank you so much and may God Bless you, Matt and your business.

[@erinluoma4977]

I’m batch sewing about 6 of these for my granddaughter for school. I always learn so much from Donna. What a great pattern!

[@soniad.9411]

Enjoyed your video on the little jumper dress immensely. Loved the way you executed the sewing on it, will definitely be making several of these. You teach well and explain perfectly. Thank you soooo much!!!

[@MarysFlagsetcMP]

So happy you posted this again. I haven't made any clothes for 26 years, but I think I can tackle this adorable jumper for my youngest granddaughter. Can't wait!

[@yvonnezamarripa1379]

I don’t see the pattern

[@Flauritas]

can i just say this is one of the clearest and nicest video I've seen about simple sewing. As a very inexperienced sewer i appreciate you guys a lot!

[@rocks160]

I am making one each for my granddaughters 😊

[@maryannbarbot4554]

Thank you for this easy to follow tutorial. I'm an experienced seamstress but am sharing this with my daughter-in-law who is just learning and has a 4 year old daughter. This simple pattern will certainly build her confidence!

[@janiewarre9941]

I absolutely love that material and the way the dress turned out thank you so much for all of your knowledge! You made it look so easy.

[@jeankinde763]

Hi Donna, I enjoyed your tutorial of making the little girls dresses. I used to make my son and daughter clothes when they were small. On my Elna computerized serger which I sold once they grew up. It brought back fond memories. I used to make matching sunsuits for my self and my daughter and coveralls with a lining in corduroy for my son when he was a baby. Thanks again.

[@golisland]

I made my clothes in high school, my wedding dress and veil and sewed my daughters clothes when they were young. Thank you for this tutorial. Enjoyed it. Brought back memories.

[@mahribeneda6462]

Jo Ann Golis .you are naturally talented . I can not make stitch if my life depend on it I can not saw a batten .i Stuart reading at 3 it was enough I read the Pom once and recite from memory , my mother was such Artist would take Fabric and drown on it and make the most beautiful table cloth or sham I frame few of her work if she was invited and she did want the new dress cut and sawing was 2 hours and she has new dress .It was amazing I could not do the ham of my pants

[@nisankakodagoda3619]

Thank you 😊

[@TheSybil47]

I watch so many of these videos, and still I can't sew properly. I try to make changes, and end up with a top where the shoulders don't meet, and a fine skirt waiting patiently for it. You sound professional to me. I mean, a wedding dress!

[@shanaproctor100]

I just found this video. I've never seen a serger in action, so this was great. What an adorable dress!

[@ladydrdelicious1273]

Nice tutorial! I sew dresses for charity, and I think I will add this pattern style to my collection.

[@kupton52]

With 2 granddaughters, 1 and 5, this is perfect....I'm already thinking of using some "what was I thinking when I bought this quilt fabric" material. Now, if you could just come up with something for my 2 grandsons, ages 7 and 8! lol....thank you so much, Donna.

[@loricuervo770]

I used this tutorial to make a dress yesterday. So easy to follow. Looks great. I watch all of your quilting videos as well.

[@robertarouse5018]

Hi Donna, I learned how to sew on my mother’s industrial machine. Wish I had kept hers. I moved from south Florida to Ocala Florida. We were down sizing so I didn’t have the extra room. I sewed all my clothes in the 50s and my kids clothes, and wedding dresses too. Then I started quilting in the 80s. I use my feather weight and my old Kenmore. I have made clothes for my grands and great grands, and have taught them to sew.. I loved watching you make the dress.i wish they still taught home economics in school. Thanks for making my interest alive. I love seeing you and hubby working together.

[@johnnatellquin8385]

Such a fun change from piecing!...and what a cute dress.

[@marybaxter836]

I made the Girl's Jumper dress. the directions were very clear & easy to follow. came out just perfect. thanks

[@Happybidr]

My Mom used to make those for my daughters when they were little. They loved them and looked adorable, just like you sweet, cute model! How fun!

[@windyday434]

Makes me wish my grand daughters were still small. This is a very cute and easy jumper!

[@nicholewoodard2583]

Thank you for this tutorial. My first attempt was with some knit fabric I had laying around. Wanted to first make sure it would fit my 6 year old little girl. It turned out great so I made another one out of cotton. I did lengthen the bodice pattern for the second jumper.

[@brendabiffibaldovino8306]

Love it. My sixteen years old grandson (my only one♥️) has now an eighteen month old cutest little sister, we're all getting together this weekend and I'm going to make her this jumper! Thank you Donna for the pattern ♥️

[@alethaewing1464]

Donna, I am really enjoying your videos! They show me how simply things go together which empowers me to try things that had seemed a bit daunting. I am trying not to watch too many at a time since I will be disappointed to catch up to your newest ones and not have a supply of them to choose from!! I have watched this one more than once as I made my grandniece (my sister's granddaughter) a very cute jumper! Thanks for all the free patterns and awesome videos. I was disapointed to learn how close I was to your shop in April when we stayed in Grants Pass, but it was before I'd learned of Jordon Fabrics! We are in Portland so the next time we're in Southern Oregon I hope to stop in. Again, thanks so much for the awesome videos and free patterns!
