Here's a great idea that you can hang around your room, little paper dresses.

All you need is...
Plain or tracing paper

  • Pen or pencil
  • Interesting paper (ie maps, sheet music, wrapping paper or wallpaper)
  • Buttons (optional)
  • Lace (optional)
  • Pins
  • Sewing machine (optional)
  • Needle and thread


What you need to do is...

  1. Trace your templates onto paper (dress front, dress back and pocket) and cut them out.
  2. Draw around the dress front and back templates on a paper of your choice and cut them out.
  3. Now draw around the pocket template onto a contrasting paper and cut it out.
  4. Pin the pocket and any other details, such as lace trims, onto the separate pieces of the dress.
  5. Sew these in place, using either hand or machine stitch.
  6. Pin the front and back of the dress together and stitch along the two sides.
  7. Stitch across the two shoulders and hand stitch on details such as buttons.
  8. finish by tying a bow around the waist.
That's all you need to do!
Have fun
