Who's ready for some new little girl sewing? Here's my newest sewing pattern...
Zip-It!
Zip-It is a comfortable, easy to wear dress with loads of retro-style.
Featuring a chunky, bright coloured zipper down the front, it not only boasts funky style, it is also super easy to put on and off.
With contrast circular yoke and stand-out curved pockets, Zip-It is a bright, sunshiny dress boasting pure fun.
Don't be intimidated by the zipper - this is the easiest way of inserting a zipper you can try, perfect for a beginner!
Zip-It looks equally great on it's own or with leggings and layers on chilly days - a timeless dress for every occasion!
-->
I think the retro-style deserves brightly coloured fabrics, but can see Zip-It working equally well with solids - perhaps a random sprinkling of buttons sewn around the yoke or a bit of simple hand-embroidery would look great too.
Zip-It is avaliable in two size ranges: Little Zip-It for sizes 0-5 and Big Zip-It for sizes 6-10. It can be purchased as an instant download PDF pattern from my website or paper versions of the pattern will start hitting stores soon. Check out my list of stockists here.
If you would like to win a copy of Zip-It, simply leave a comment on this blog post! (Please make sure you leave an email address with your comment. Giveaway will close Sunday 12th May and winner will be drawn at random).

oh this is so cute, love little girl dresses that actually look like a little girl should be wearing them, the curved yoke is so cute!
My girls are reading over my shoulder going please make us this mum, by the end of school today lol. I think this pattern will be a winner in our house :)
So cute! The collar and pockets are my favorite!
I love this one Toni!, I had an orange one very similar to this in the early 1970s, the story goes that my family was walking down through the streets of Launceston, Mum looked back to check on me behind the pram and I had unzipped my dress and walked straight out of it ;)
I'd love to buy and make this one!
What a fabulous dress! The zipper is a great feature. I love love love it!!!!
cute cute cute xxxx
So adorable! osburns6@gmail.com
I love everything about this dress - the collar, the pockets, the zip down the front and of course the fabric you chose!
Perfect dress for my Miss 6. Great to throw a long sleeved top on underneath with a pair of tights/leggings. Exactly what I need for her wardrobe. Shopping for girls clothing is crazy. So very little that is suitable.
You had me at "Easier way of inserting a zipper"...
What a gorgeous dress. Definately on my "to do" list. I will be breaking out my vintage sheets for this one.
Oh Man! Please stop your sewing frenzy. I am DYING to get sewing but have banned myself from the machine until the end of this uni semester! I am, however, still stocking up on awesome fabrics in anticipation of my return!!! (And my own sewing frenzy)
What a perfect dress! I want one for me haha! I love everything about this. Well done :)
is that your daughter? She is adorable!
I love this dress ... especially love the fabric you used. Love the pocket, everything.
Such a cute dress! My niece would look so adorable in a dress from this pattern!
EEEEEK! I am totally in love with this. Actually, my favorite part is the wide-yoked collar that gives a sleeve on the dress. Thank you---I like to have options for sleeves on little girl's dresses, besides only inset-sleeves!
Oh my goodness - I love this dress. So so so cute! I can't decide what I like more, the round neck, the zip or the pockets?
Is there no end to your creative genius Toni? Amazing!

I'm thinking that this would be the perfect flower girl dress pattern for the very casual wedding I having in a month. Yay!
Such a beautiful dress. Ssshhh....don't tell hubby but I'm now secretly hoping our Peanut (due in 6 weeks) is a girl so I can make many versions of this dress :)

My Lily will be 5 in a month and would love this dress. I especially love that it will look great throughout the year, because she has a habit of wearing her summer dresses in weather that is not so summery.
Such a perfect mix of simple, wearable and unfussy but still cute and stylish!
Love! Love! Love! the new pattern, but I've goota have that fabric! Pretty please, where did you get it from? So special..
Gorgeous rabbits- my Jemima would love this as she adores bunnies. And I would love to win this pattern!
