DIY [Beginner Sewing] Low cut back gathered toddler dress with bow tie

Hey guys!
I made some adjustments from the last gathered toddler dress I made. This time I back low cut and added straps for a cute bow that can be tied in the front or back. You can add a long sleeve underneath and it's perfect for the holidays or you can wear as is for the cool/warm weather in the spring/summer. Super easy, super cute!
Enjoy!

Your explanation are soo easy to get thanks, let me just study from you now

[@ivyrao9747]

Thank you love it so simple easy and spectacular. And I love how easily you sewed the zipper on. Other tutorials make it look so complicated and without detailed explanations ❤

[@LV_Shef]

I absolutely love this video! Most sewing videos that I've watched make me bored with what's going on after a few minutes. I was engaged the whole time. You have a lovely voice and explained everything in detail in a way that continued to keep me interested. I plan to try this soon. Thank you for uploading this! Much love and appreciation to you. :)

[@THAMARA1978la]

I absolutely love this video thank you

[@manuelitaruiz9783]

I love your explanations so clear and clean, love this little dress, thank you so much for your tutorial.❤❤❤❤

[@rubyarambula2228]

This is like the best video I’ve watched. ♥️. And great methods with the kids clothes.

[@sageabovethemoon21]

I am so impressed with your sewing style! Thank you for your tutorials! I am 56 yr young Grandma (Mema) and I am making dresses for all of my granddaughters with this "pattern" from you!! Yay! They will look so cute this summer!

[@debashreepattanayak6613]

Thisis the most detailed video i have seen so far, perfect for beginners . ❤

[@naomi1234ization]

Wow! It was a hustle for me as a beginner to make the dress for my girl, because she also needed some net underneath. It came out so well that she said `Mummy I love you´. So thank you.

[@ramaniellepola3603]

Very easy to understand.I see quite a few dresses for my 8 year old granddaughter but could never see on a zipper.you showed an easy way to do it.Love your teaching!

[@blotchilim1980]

I'm watching this as my babe is asleep, so it's muted, and i find your hand movement to be so gentle & calming to look at. It actually helped me to overcame my anxiety at sewing a dress for my kid, so i'm very grateful. Cheers & bless your girl, she's so pretty in that dress!

[@Latinhoodie]

Me too!

[@otistravismax]

💖😃 When I seen how easy you attached the zipper ~ I immediately subscribed 🎉 Thank You for this beautiful dress & tutorial 🧵🪡✨

[@reginabezerra2373]

I loved your tutorial ,I watched last night and today I was able to sew a dress for the little girl I nanning. And is perfect in her body. Thanks for share it.

[@jessicalouise8326]

Great video! I came specifically for seeing how you did the bow tie on the back. However, I really enjoyed seeing how you made your pattern. Truly clever. I use traditional patterns as little as possible, something about my weird brain doesn't comprehend them at all! But I can understand how you did this. Thank you.

[@tamielizabethallaway2413]

Fabulous video! Really well made and clearly explained. I love the deeper back with bow. Just gives it a bit more of a professional style....taking simple style up a notch. Gorgeous fabric choice too and I love those matching knickers! My daughter always had those matching knickers with her dresses as a baby and toddler, usually they were ruffled too and just look so cute and old fashioned on baby girls. My daughter's 33 now, married and has 5 children of her own! Four boys and the youngest is a girl who is 7...hence me searching for girl's dresses inspiration! 😁 It doesn't matter if you're 100, 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, or around 20...if you are Mum to a baby girl it's almost guaranteed that you put her in these types of dresses. You could be a top fashion model, super gorgeous and trendy to the max, your baby girl will wear dresses like this. There's just something so traditional and wholesome about them I think. It's kind of sad when they grow out of the dresses stage and opt for jeans or jogging bottoms more often. It's the same with romper suits or dungarees type suits for baby boys, although my daughter had some pink sets of girly dungarees too, just more ruffled than boy's ones. So whilst my granddaughter is still young enough to be forced into a dress 😂 I'm going to still make them. She's super dinky, tiny little pretty itty bitty thing, so she actually likes pretty dresses and matching handbags. I'll make the most of it while I can. 😊 Your daughter looks so adorable here, although I guess she's around 6-7 too by now? I'll have to see if you've done more recent videos for slightly older girl's outfits. They grow up far too quickly! My daughter's eldest two, twin boys, start secondary school in September and will be 12 in October! It's passed by in a flash! Thank you for sharing a very easy to follow tutorial, and thank you to your baby girl for her beautiful modeling photos! She's a complete natural! They look like magazine or clothing catalogue photos! Sweet lil baby girl. 😘😘😘 xxxxx EDIT*** oh my lordy I just had a quick peep at your video list and you do still post videos...and from my quick glance I see your daughter is older and still in dresses. And was that a baby boy you have too I saw? I literally scanned up and down the list in seconds so haven't taken them all in yet, just glad you are still an active channel as this video is a few years old. New subscriber! Oooh I can't wait to see your baby boy too. Children just literally melt my heart and make me feel so happy and appreciative of life! He looks super adorable too. Oh sewing ideas AND beautiful children, where has this channel been hiding??? I think you're quite quickly gonna be my favourite calm dose of happiness. (My own son died aged 5½ and although it was ten years ago now, my arms still haven't stopped yearning to hold him. I'm a grandmother but still deeply grieve for the role of "mummy" that was taken from me so abruptly. I'm not saying that for sympathy, more for context...in case you thought who is this old weirdo melting over my children! 🙄 I'm perfectly safe and non warped I promise. I'm just naturally maternal right through to my bone marrow, even having just passed menopause I could still quite happily snuggle up with a baby in my arms. So yeah, just explaining so you weren't like WTF! 😳) 😂😂😂 Ok I'll STFU now! 😁😁😁

[@ForeSeeLove]

Hello there Tami! Firstly, I'm so, so sorry for the loss of your precious baby boy. My condolences.❤ Thank you for your kind words and for sharing a little of your story. I can tell how much you love and adore all of your babies (grand babies too). Also, I get no weird vibes at all lol🤣, so no worries. I actually love reading comments like this. It what motivates me to continue creating and sharing. So glad you found my channel and I'm happy your here to stay (for as long as you like of course 😊). We're going to keep our baby girls in dresses for as long as we can! ❤

[@suzannawoods5925]

You made sewing a dress seem simple and approachable. It's beautiful!

[@yogawithester4728]

Made this with a longer hi-lo skirt for my 5 year old babygirl! Totally adorable and a great learning experience! Thank you so much!

[@yuadel7]

Best video i have seen for beginners. Loved the explanation and how it turned out. Thank you sooo much. I feel better now about learning to sew.

[@dsofidiaries4472]

Finally I found a good explanation on how to sew a baby dress thanx a lot. You are awesome 😍😍😍💕💕

[@barbaraness4507]

She is so cute, and the dress looks beautiful on her! I’ve made quite a few gathered girls dresses,, but you showed me a couple of ways to make them easier. Your technique for sewing the zipper and pinning the belt pieces down and out of the way (I just never thought to do that) will make it easier when I see my next dress. Thanks 🥰

[@idafuentes452]

I had to go over the video several times as a beginner but this video was very detailed. I made a red Christmas dress dress for my daughter last year that fits her today. So I am here again to make her a new one using your guidelines. Thank you for making a video that works.

[@H0B0Qu33n]

I watched this video last week and today I followed along and made my own toddler dress, I switched out the zip as I couldn't make it work and used snap ups instead, so cute.

[@cuisinerene7156]

So easy to understand and follow, grt video. Thank you

[@taylorschoene5228]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I made my toddler the cutest dress with a butterfly print and a coordinating sash! It was easy to follow and clear instructions!

[@helensaini8046]

Always thought stitching a dress is challenging but after watching your step by step video I have got to try it. Thanks❤

[@ginistewart9636]

LOVE how you teach!!! Thank you for this great tutorial!

[@rosemccartney3750]

love this so detailed

[@MelitaRH]

I made this with the measurement of my 4year old girl and i nailed it.😁 The only thing that gave me dome trouble was the zipper, because i decided to use an invissable zipper.🤦‍♀️

[@mariecaroniaplotkin5268]

Amazing tutorial! Simple & to the point. Thanks

Omg you did a great job! She is beautiful

[@kikitagoogle5741]

Started to sew it today and am half through it. I am a little bit scared of the zipper part, because I never did that, but you explain everything so easy, I am sure I can do it. I chose a white fabric that has embroidery that starts at the hem and then it fades out, and allready it looks gorgeous and really professional!! My 3year old can't wait to wear it, and it will be perfect for a summer baptise or wedding here in Greece. Greetings from Athens, Greece ❤️

[@ForeSeeLove]

Hello Kikita! The fabric choice sounds so cute! And your half-way through! I'm sure it will turn out beautifully. So happy your baby girl already loves it! ❤

[@tinatolfree9560]

Wow totally amazing. I have only ever done a baby dress. This is so cute and your daughter looks beautiful. Such a great uncomplicated tutorial. Thank you. Tina from England.

[@shalini7604]

So detailed stitching method. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️

[@lubareswow]

Great video. Refreshing to see how to make the pattern out of scratch yourself vs having to buy one. ( Just FYI - the tie directions in the video and the description are different. You say, to cut ties 24 x 6. Written cc words state 24x 16 ). But, ABSOLUTELY a wonderful to the point video.

[@CuquiLopezCasas]

thank you! I will try it.

[@simoneheath3022]

I just finished mine today!! The hardest part was the zipper, mine is all jacked up, but im gonna watch your video again and do it over. I also used the fabric sideways 🤣 Thank you so much again, your video was so helpful to start sewing!

[@ForeSeeLove]

Hello there! Your so very welcome! So glad I can help. Just remember the more you practice the better you'll get! Happy sewing and much success and progress in your sewing journey! 🙂

[@sierramarie5394]

This is CRAZY. I've been sewing masks for covid wear for the last 3 months, and I needed a break from it today. I found this video to make a dress for my 3 year old for fun....and I'm literally holding the same exact fabric used in the video?! What! Great minds, am I right? 😉 Great tutorial! 🖤

Hello Sierra! Agreed! So cool! And thanks! 😊
