The Emmaline

If you like to sew for little girls, chances are you’ve heard of the Emmaline.  If you haven’t heard about it, well, I am here to tell you about this gorgeous dress!

It’s a brand new pattern out by Violette Field Threads and it’s been spreading across Pinterest like wildfire!  And for good reason!

The Emmaline is a maxi dress for little girls. And it has tons of ruffles!

This is the first pattern I have made by Violette Field Threads.  The pattern was really well written with clear instructions and lots of pictures to help you through.

The pattern offers a choice of using store-bought bias tape, or making your own.  I’ve always been too scared to make my own, but with the simple instructions and pictures to guide me through, I successfully made my own bias tape for the first time!

The Emmaline features a ruffled neckline, a ruffled hem (with the option of 1 – 3 ruffles) and a sweet halter top. 

This pattern would be suitable for the advanced (or confident) beginner and beyond.

Oh… and it has great twirl factor!
