London {Free Pattern + Tutorial}
I've wanted to make a twirly, simple little summer dress for awhile and I saw the slip pattern included with the Rosemary and I knew that with some modification, it would be perfect. Our summers in California get so incredibly hot that you want something as airy and cool as possible and this dress fits the bill.
The ladies of Violette Field Threads were so in love with this dress!! They decided to take it a step further and make it super easy for all of to recreate this beautiful dress in every size!! I am very happy to introduce you to the new London Dress Pattern! The very best part...it is FREE!!!
London only requires about 2 yards of fabric and an hour of sewing time! You will have closets full of these twirly summer dresses in no time!!
The Free London Tutorial has pattern pieces {and cutting charts, if preferred} for all the required pieces. The tutorial will teach you how to make your own bias tape or if preferred you can use store bought tape for an even quicker sew!
The skirt and bodice can be dressed up by adding any fun trim, lace or pom-poms to the skirt.
You can also add buttons or any other little embellishments to the bodice front!
London is perfect for mixing and matching fabrics. Fabric for this dress was generously provided by Threads and Stitches Fabric Group. Be sure to check out her page for awesome deals on fabric.
You will need to enter a code to receive London for free! The code can be found in the pinned post of the Violette Field Threads Facebook Group HERE. I hope you enjoy this pattern!

I LOVE your patterns! I am not on Facebook either and was also wondering if there was another way to get the free patterns.
I would love to have the free London dress pattern but I am not on facebook. We only have email access. could I possible receive it that way? BTW, I am sooooo glad I found you again. My granddaughter is 21 now and she told me at ten years old she did wear dresses any more. Oh, I was so dishearten. I continued to sew little dresses for others for a while, but gave that up. now I have a great niece and can’t wait to sew for her. I have some of your patterns from long ago, and am loving the new baby ones.
Thank you for you time and response,
sincerely,
donna
