Girls’ dresses are one of my favorite items to sew. This is my first attempt to make a DIY girls long sleeve dress from a self-drafted sewing pattern. I used a bedsheet cotton fabric, in case the experiment was a failure, but the dress actually turned out cute, comfortable and totally wearable.

I’m happy to share with you this easy wool dress I recently made for my 2 years-old daughter. Boiled wool is a natural fabric with amazing properties; it retains the body warmth and keeps you comfortable when the temperature drops, it’s windproof and waterproof. This simple dress is super easy and quick to make and it’s great for the cold season, as it keeps the core warm and also covers the bottom.
