Girl Charlee Fabrics :: Rock the Playground Kid Favorite Sewing Patterns


Back to School is almost here!  To help you find the cutest and easiest indie sewing patterns and fabrics to sew up for your little ones, we have curated a Kid Favorites Collection on girlcharlee.com. The Rock The Playground themed collection has customer favorite sewing patterns that work great for stylish and fun daily activewear for class and recess, as well as options that work for making uniform skorts, leggings, and more, for both girls and boys.  Save tons of money with back to school shopping by picking up some of these sewing patterns and fabrics to create the perfect stylish and functional back to school wardrobe in no time!

 
The Kensington Dress and Tee is a pattern for a beautifully tailored knit dress or trendy hi-low hem tee. It can go from casual and comfy to polished and buttoned up depending on what options you choose to use. Options include: a placket, a pocket (use 1 or 2, or leave it off), short sleeves, long sleeves, button tabs for rolled up sleeves, a dress, a shirt, an exposed neck binding and a hidden neck binding. Leave off the placket and pockets and you'll have a beginner-friendly pattern. But if you're up for a little challenge, the placket directions include photographs of each step to make it as easy as possible.
