Summertime is the perfect time of the year to sew a dress. Can you imagine anything cuter than a girl in a new handmade summer dress?
Some are total beginner sewing projects, a few are a bit more advanced. Either way, you won’t be able to resist them (neither could I!). And as you may have noticed, I have spent too much time on Pinterest (again!), searching for a cute little girls’ dress to make for my daughter this summer. You won’t believe how quickly I got stuck, there is simply too much cuteness and too many free patterns to try out! Eeep, I’d love to try them all!
So I ended up making a selection of my favorite ones, and thought to myself – why not make a nice list, both for me and for my blog readers. So here they are, all these free summer dress patterns nicely lined up, the cutest little girls dresses with free patterns for me and you to make. I’m having a hard time deciding which one is my favorite. Which one is yours?

Sleeveless Sunday Girl’s Dressby Sew Can Do
This one is too, one of my favorite girl’s dresses and I couldn’t resist adding it. there really aren’t many for the girls between 8-12yrs that can be sewn up in an hour or two – well, this one covers it! The free girls dress pattern comes in US size 8-10 but you can easily scale it down to fit a size 6: the pattern designer says you can use a 1/2″ seam allowance plus shorten the bodice by 1 inch and hem by 1 1/2inches. What I also love is the fully lined bodice. Such a pretty girls dress for a sunny Sunday – check it out at Sew Can Do here.
