My 3 year old granddaughter does not like to wear turtleneck tops. I looked online for any free blouse patterns and did find a peasant blouse that I can make. For you sewers out there, is there a pattern you use to make children's clothing that you particularly like? I stopped by Joann's yesterday and was stunned to see the price of patternss - 11.95 and up! And then there was sign posted "always __% off" - I forget what the figure was! I know it's been a long time since my daughter was a toddler, but wow! Thanks for your help!

Hobby Lobby about once a month put patterns on sale for .99 cents. Keep watching. I am sure other do the same.

patterns are very high but JoAnn's and Hancock's regularly put them on sale , some for .99, just takes timing
|
JoAnn's will have Butterick patterns on sale for $0.99 each September 19-25, limit 5.
The patterns always sell fast during these sales, so I would go as early in the week as possible. They have a sale like this with different pattern brands featured about every 6 weeks or so. There are also a couple of brands that are $1.99 regularly. Walmart also sells reduced price and cheaper patterns if you still have a full fabric department. You can also try the library for sewing books. I have found some with sewing patterns (you have to trace them). Off hand, I don't remember the names of them. Maybe one was by Amy Butler? |
Thanks everyone! HobbyLobby is about 40 miles away, JoAnn's thru one the busiest parts of the county! The store looks close on the map but time-wise, it's frustrating! Our Walmart does still have its fabric department - I will check there. -J

I never buy clothing patterns unless they're on sale from .99-2.00, not that I need any more patterns. LOL I hardle sew clothing anymore.

What are garment patterns????
Ha ha it's been THAT long since I made anything to wear :D |
I am the same way, I use to sew all my summer clothes when I was a teen.Had boys not fun to sew for and quit sewing all together.Took up quilting 15 years ago.Two weeks ago became irratated with trying to find blouses that weren't for a teen I bought a simple pattern bought some Blank quilting fabric washed it and made a beautiful blouse and I have scraps to make a quilt.Just like the old timers did it!

At Wal-mart they have New Look patterns, they run around 3.50, I think. There's one I've used that is a unisex 1T to 4T wardrobe with pants, shorts, and a boy and girl version of a button down shirt (the girl version has puffy sleeves) as well as a little skirt. I've used it a lot for my kids, as the shirt pattern is very simple and the pants even more so.
Also there are the "It's So Easy" patterns from Simplicity at Wal-Mart, and they are really easy, and run about $2.50 (I think). I'm sure you can find something. |
You can often find patterns at thrift stores..... :D
