So, you may have seen some new PDF sewing patterns being added to our website over the last few months…We wanted to start 2019 off with a bang and bring you some beautiful new patterns for Babies & Toddlers (you’ve been asking us for them and now we’re delivering :)).

And so…drumroll please….we now bring you the DUNGIES Sewing Pattern The second new release in our gorgeous Baby Collection, which you can find out more about here.

We are super happy with this Dungies Sewing Pattern. Marina wanted to create something that was truly unique and design focussed, so she combined the classic romper shape with a gorgeous pinafore button closure at the shoulders. And voilà, we have a new piece of clothing that deserves it’s own name – Dungies!

Frocks and Frolics - Dungies Sewing Pattern

Everyone that has tested this pattern fell in love with it at first sight because they are super speedy to make and look like they came from a designer boutique.

Frocks and Frolics - Dungies Sewing Pattern

The gorgeous position and shape of the straps sets this design apart. The back strap comes forward and complements the comfortable neckline, which is just the right height if your baby wears a t-shirt underneath. On the other hand it is not too low and makes a lovely summer romper. Using a facing instead of binding gives you a guaranteed good fit even if the stitching is still a bit wobbly.

Naturally this sewing course comes with all the extra sewing techniques & professional tricks that you have come to expect, and this one includes:

  • How to insert a button hole

  • How to attach kam snaps

  • How to cut out fabric

  • How to create a faux turn up

  • How to attach and sew facings

  • How to insert a gusset

  • How to sew a perfect patch pocket

These Dungies are a really versatile product and are great for everyday wear and playtime but can be dressed up to suit a more formal occasion. Best of all, they take 40 minutes (!!) to sew up and use a limited amount of fabric so you can use up some lovely knit jersey from your stash for these.

Included as always are both written and video instructions that take you through the process and you can choose, based on your confidence and skill level to go for kam snaps or buttonholes. The pattern runs from newborn to 2-3 and each size is designed separately, meaning that you do not have to spend hours cutting out and printing unnecessary sizes.

This will make the perfect romper for your baby, grandchild or as a special gift for a loved one. Interested to learn more? Have a look at our wonderful video which takes you through the making of this gorgeous pattern, we promise that you are going to love it.
