I'd say that single jersey or anything t-shirt weight would be best. Knit fabric could also be used (see next paragraph).įor the romper, it is specified that knit fabric be used so it can be pulled on and off with ease. I wouldn't recommend anything thicker than a lighter-weight quilting cotton though. This pattern is a great scrap buster, so have a hunt through your leftovers to see what you might be able to use. Cotton lawn is light-weight but a dream to work with it responds well to pressing yet doesn't crease too horrendously. Here I used the leftovers from my Cobra Corsage Luna pants, which is basically a cotton lawn. There isn't any suggestion for what type of fabric to use for the top/dress pattern, or how much you'll need, but I'd say a light-to-medium weight woven cotton, or even something more slinky like a viscose, would work well. Many thanks to Autumn for making these patterns and tutorials available for us to use for free. I'm putting this info at the top of this post here because if you're sewing for bigger or much smaller kids, I'm afraid this post may not be of use to you. The reason for this is that these patterns (the flutter sleeve dress and top and romper patterns by It's Always Autumn) are only for size 4T (or actually smaller, but more on that in a bit). Today I'm featuring a couple of free sewing patterns for children that didn't feature in 'My Favourite Free Children's Sewing Patterns' post.
