This dress went together very quickly and i am pleased with the result. I would have liked some illustrations of the flutter sleeve version, but the instructions were clear enough.
Kate is a great dress. I am a beginner sewer and this pattern was simple to follow and the outcome was lovely. It has loads of different options and things that can be changed to make each creation completely different. I’m looking forward to having another go!
I am very new to sewing clothes and this pattern was fab. It was easy to follow and the results are very cute! It’s great that there are so many different options, every make could be completely different. We were definitely very pleased with the outcome.
I bought this pattern a few years ago. I have made a few different Kate tops for my Granddaughters. So this year will be no different. Just the Granddaughters keep getting taller. I have made this one, I embroidered the heart, I downloaded the pattern from Cutsey crafts. I have only just got into embroidery. Anyway, this Kate pattern is so versatile, you have many options to make it your own way. It really is a perfect pattern for making clothes for day to day, or something special for a special occasion.
I love this pattern. The fit is perfect.

Kate shorts
The Kate shorts are super cute and fit well. It's an easy sew for a beginner. I haven't made the top or dress because I'm not the best at making ruffles.

Great Pattern
These shorts are quick to sew and look great. I made both the girls and the doll. My tween grand wishes they came in her size!

Easy to sew
I bought this pattern last year. I wanted to make this lovely outfit for my granddaughter's. I made both of them tops and shorts using this pattern last year. But I have recently bought the " Belle top and leggings" pattern. I can't go shopping to buy knit fabric, because we are still in level 5 lockdown. So I had enough fabric left over from the Belle top to make these shorts to go with it. I think they will look lovely together. This pattern is so quick to sew. I will definitely be making use of it for a long time. Although my granddaughter is 3 year old. I made size 5 because she is so well built. The coffee colour shorts I made for my 9 years old granddaughter. She loves them and says they are very comfortable to wear.

I bought this pattern to make these beautiful designs for my Granddaughters. I was so excited to start making them. Corona virus had us all in lockdown. The sun shone bright in Ireland. Yay I said. I'll be the happiest Grandma in the country. I bought fabric. I made the shorts for both of my girls. I then made the tops. The girls would be beautiful wearing these lovely outfits in the sun. But this is Ireland, the sun went off on holiday in June. It hasn't yet come back. So now these beautiful, easy to follow perfect outfits are sitting around in the closets. But I have now bought the Julianna pattern. This will definitely be worth working on.

Kate Dress
As always an easy pattern to follow and quick to make up. However for once there was a small thing I wasn’t happy about. The straps are fiddly to assemble and I felt looked untidy when attached to the bodice. I shall certainly make it again but would try to construct and attach the straps differently.

Fantastic pattern
This was my first time making a dress! I had never purchased, assembled, and used a pattern. The VFT tutorial made it so easy and my daughter's dress ended up being amazing. Can't wait to purchase more patterns!
Adorable
I've made one of these so far and it turned out wonderfully. My daughter loves the scalloped apron, and the little kerchief is the perfect addition.
Excellent shorts pattern
Loved the pattern and all the detailed pics and directions! Thank you again!

The pattern is simple to put together and use. The picture directions make it easy to follow along. I also love that I can make different versions and add shorts to an outfit with this pattern. Love VFT patterns. ♡

I love these shorts. They look amazing. The ruffle adds to the cuteness. I have made 3 pairs for my 2year old granddaughter,bI have also made some for my 9year old granddaughter. Both of them think I'm the best Nanny since Nanny's were made ( lol). I'm absolutely looking forward to making the top and dress. The pattern was so we'll put together, the instructions are very clear. I love it. Thank you, your patterns are keeping our minds alert in these strange times.
