I’m very excited to introduce my next pattern, The Edelweiss Dress!
This is a cute little sundress, featuring an empire waisted bodice, ruffled straps, an easy buttoned back, and a gathered skirt in sizes 18 months – 10 years!
I think it’s perfect for casual spring days at the playground or you can use fancy fabrics to dress it up for a summer wedding too! Have fun mixing prints between the skirt, bodice, and ruffles, or go for a color-blocked look.
My favorite part of this dress is the small area in the front center bodice that is perfect for featuring a favorite fabric, a piece of embroidery, a vintage hanky, or really anything that is special to you and deserves to be front and center. The bodice pattern also includes a pieced option in case you only have a small scrap of special fabric. In this version, I used the mini-tutorial included with the pattern to create a chevron effect with stripes.
There is also a tunic-length option for the girl who prefers to wear it with leggings, a cute pair of shorts, or her favorite skinnies.
As always, this Hey June pattern comes complete with a 40 page .pdf document including:
– directions for printing and tiling the pattern
– notes on getting the best fit and how to do minor alterations
– many different suggestions to save you paper and ink
– a full sized pattern in sizes 18 months – 10 years – just print and cut the size you need, no tracing necessary!
– clear digitally illustrated sewing directions for every step
You can get the Edelweiss Dress pattern today over at the Hey June shop!

Love the new dress, it is adorable! Spring has sprung all the flowers have already bloomed and the school schedule tells me the end of school is near, however my 50 degree weather is telling me otherwise!

Spring has long been sprung–the pollen has fallen and is now a distant albeit unpleasant memory. Now we anxiously await the opening of the magnolias and gardenias.

Sweet! Spring here means our fig tree is in full foliage again and the peacocks around the way can be heard for miles calling their mates.
Lyssa says
Adorable!! Spring has certainly sprung in Seattle – we had a gorgeous weekend and spent it all outside!
Niki says
You can tell it’s spring in Michigan because everyone has replaced their winter wardrobes with summer ones, and they refuse to dig out a jacket or scarf even if the temps dip back down again!
Sam says
These are adorable!! Love it with the skinnies! Spring has sprung here because our pup spends his days laying in the front yard instead of on my bed!

Spring has arrived in NC but you wouldn’t know it from all the rain!
Love the dress pattern!

Hi… Spring in Holland is as turbulant as can be… But today we enjoyed the sun, a barbecue in the garden and lots of fun with my three year old daugther in a little swimming pool! We count our blessings!

I know Spring has Spring when everyone is sneezing! The pollen is horribly thick in Atlanta! But the fresh fruits and veggies make it all worth while!

rachkatt says
So cute!! I especially love the colorful stripey chevron-y one!
Over here in Tanzania, it is getting colder (60’s/low 70’s counts as cold right? Feels like it!). But, I can tell the season is changing because it has started raining less and getting dusty instead. :)

The three kiddos and I have started clearing all the leaves and getting the backyard ready to play and run around in all spring :)

Adorable! In Seattle, we see cherry blossoms that hint at spring in February, but in March we get daffodils, tulips and rhodies

It’s still a little chilly here, but we know it’s officially spring because we have been overrun by dandelions! And then of course we all have the allergies that come with them ;D

Today is the first warm day in my neck of the woods – in my book – but I know it’s spring bc my kids have been running around the yard naked for weeks! I’m clearly behind in making some spring clothes! I sure could use these patterns! Thanks!
Joelle says
My tulips are blooming (tho the daffodils haven’t yet) and a robin built a nest and laid eggs in a flower pot on my porch (left from last year with nothing growing in it yet). Also, it hasn’t snowed in almost a week now! lol

I know it is spring when the farmers start spreading manure on the fields. We live in between two farms so we get to enjoy that rather odious spring ritual.

cnydalynn says
so so cute. I love these patterns. I like that they go so far up in size – it makes it so easy to sew them for both of my girls.
and we have had a great spring so far in Florida. I am so sorry to say that because I feel so bad for those that aren’t having great weather. Spring is the best season.

I’m in the wrong hemisphere! Can I say that Autumn (Fall) has finally arrived with the beautiful changing of leaves instead? Would love to make these dresses in a corduroy for layering this winter and again next spring for the warmer weather in a cotton =)
Laura H. says
I love this dress! So versatile!
I know spring has sprung in Tennessee because we have green everywhere! The leaves and grass are a riot of green hues. Also, the film of green pollen is deeper than any amount of snow we could ever have! :D

In addition to the flowers, spring around here means bugs!

Melissa Naasko says
Love the patterns, all of them! They will make great summer clothes! I live in Colorado so it is not the right weather for those things yet. I know spring has sprung because the snow has been heavy, wet and melts quickly in the last three storms. Yeah. Colorado snows every May. At least once.
Odottelija says
Oh, so cute dresses! I got to win this :)!
The first sign of spring is propably the sunshine! The blue sky, no clouds…. <3

These patters are adorable!! Well, I’ve lived in the midwest nearly all my life and we moved to California last summer so its kind of like winter never really came… Just an extended fall and now we are pretty much summer weather! I kinda like it :)
Leslie says
I’m in Illinois and everything is blooming. The grass needs cut and everything is covered in a yellow layer of pollen. And my favorite way, the sun is shining in the window.
CLS says
what lovely fresh designs!
Kathy H says
Very cute dress. Spring has sprung here in pa. because all our flowering bushes and trees have those beautiful flowers. ANd the trees mostly all have their leaves but they are the light green shades, not dark yet.
Melinda says
In NC it feels like it is April Showers not May flowers but flowers and trees look gorgeous from all the rain!

I’ve dug my flip flops out from the back of the wardrobe! Thanks!
Debbie Bojko says
Spring has sprung here as we are not having any more cool weather. We never really get a winter, maybe a couple of freezing days but Thant is about it. The butterflies and humming birds are back in the garden along with many species of birds as they start heading back north. The wild parrots are back. And the best part are the baby birds are starting to stretch their wings and fly out of their nests. The straggler getting a little nudge from momma as if to say come on get a move on now we don’t have all day to wait on you, we have places to go and things to see LOL. It’s so cute.

Spring has sprung when my daughter’s birthday and my niece and nephews birthdays and my wedding anniversary all start rolling around.
Brittney says
Unfortunately in Sacramento, the first sign of spring is allergies! Most people who live here develop them and just about everyone I know is miserable for the first 2-3 weeks of spring.
Jodi Bonjour says
Daffodils. Although They usually peak out as the snow is having it’s last hooray and I am always worried that they will die because of it. They never do and spring comes quickly after that.
Bethany says
all the pretty colors. Spring in the Pac NW are just lovely…the sky is blue the grass is green the flowers are out…lovely! Thanks!

CraftyHourMom says
We had about 2 days of spring and have jumped straight into summer! 10 days ago we had a heavy snowfall and very cold temps, and then this past week there have been days hot enough to go out in shorts and play with water in the yard. The tulips started pushing their leaves out of the snow about 2 weeks ago and the heat is making them bloom very quickly, even before they are very tall. Central Alberta is very strange – we always say, “If you don’t like the weather, wait 5 minutes.”
Thanks for the chance! I have two giveaways happening too: http://www.craftyhour.com
CraftyHourMom says
sorry, let me rephrase: “Alberta is very strange” – as to weather!
Kellie Staton says
Spring has sprung cold here. I know the people up north would laugh at me for saying that but we have had highs in the lower 60s. That is around 20 degrees lower than it is here normally. I grew up in the south and don’t ever remember it being so chilly in May.
Kelli says
I know spring has sprung in my neck of the woods when everyone breaks out their shorts and flip flops. Down here in FL, we try to just wait out the short winter so we can put away our 4 sweaters and break out our 20 pairs of shorts! :)

Carmen Nuland says
Spring sprang almost two weeks ago and then mid-last week we ended up with 3″+ of snow on the ground (after whatever melted). Temps will be cool this weekend but I think spring is finally here. At least all my flowers survived the cold snap
toffeepops says
When the blossom, daffies and tulips finally put in an appearance… The hint of spring is when it gets too warm for my down jacket. Thanks for the chance, you’ve got some lovely patterns!
