Hi everyone I am new to this board but after looking through the pictures I am enlisting my mom to help me make DD and her cousin simple dresses for Disney in sept. I only have an old singer with no charger, embroidery or any fancy stuff so it will be a simple simple pattern. Can anyone suggest a pattern I can purchase from JoAnn fabric that they have done and would he a good first dress??? Thanks so very much for all the inspiration.
You cannot go wrong with Carla C's Simply Sweet dress, there are a variety of options and it is like a sewing lesson all in one. Here is a link,
http://www.youcanmakethis.com/products/simply-sweet-tops-and-dresses . It is $10 and you download and print but so worth it. I was one who kept thinking why would I pay almost 10x the price and then print it myself!! Been eating those words every since, it is also the pattern that most of us started out with, either that one or something of Carla's. She also does have a paper pattern for it in stores, let me figure out if I can see who it is by if you prefer paper, but honestly this is the best!! Simple machines can do amazing things. I have 2 fancy embroidery machines but everything I do is by hand using a simple zig zag or satin stitch, I can do it on a cheap machine (which I own plenty of too) or an expensive one!! Good luck!
