Little Miss Sweetie Pie Dress

When I was a little girl, I had an A-line princess seam dress that was my favourite go-to dress. It was simple & sweet with just a hint of girlie. 

The princess style lines of the Sweetie Pie Dress give very subtle shaping. You can accentuate those lines by adding a ruffle, with contrast fabrics or adding a sash. The back opens via buttons or snaps and there are awesome pockets to collect treasures.

PRINTING YOUR PDF SEWING PATTERNS.

At Pattern Emporium, most of our patterns include Print-at-Home, A0 Copy Shop, and Projector pattern files. Each listing specifies which formats are available for that particular pattern.

In each of our sewing pattern tutorials, you’ll find detailed information specific to that pattern's printing options.

1. Printer Settings. It's important to select the correct printer settings to ensure your pattern prints to the correct scale. You'll find printer specs in your tutorial &, for more detail, here on the website.
