If you sew, you’ll love today’s post: I’ve rounded up 24 absolutely FREE girls’ dress patterns. The best part about these patterns is that all of them come in multiple sizes, as opposed to many free patterns which are one size only. Many of these dresses are fairly easy to sew, meaning they’re great for beginners and impatient people (like me!).

If you are truly dedicated to sewing dresses for your angel, you will want to translate and download the pattern and sew this very beautiful dress The Baby Doll dress. This tutorial by weekend designer can be used to make a baby doll dress for a little girl as well and it will look beautiful if stitched in chiffon.

Summer Breeze Baby Dress - Free PDF Pattern - New Craft Works says: August 14, 2018 at 12:09 am HERE is the free sewing pattern for this Summer Breeze Baby Dress.

Many of these dresses are also great for something I’ve been thinking about for a while now: sewing for charity. I have so many amazing blessings in my life that I take for granted, and it’s easy to forget that many people in the world struggle with providing basics like food and clothing for their families.

Melissa from Melly Sews and I have teamed up to provide some resources today for those of you who are also interested in sewing for others. If you want to sew for little girls, I shared a free play dress pattern last week, or you can use one of the other patterns mentioned below. At the end of this post you’ll find links to a few different organizations that distribute dresses to girls in need. And if you want to sew for little boys, you can find info on sewing shorts over on Melly Sews.

If you’re looking for somewhere to donate dresses, consider these options:

Please note that these some of the organizations below have guidelines for the dresses they distribute, so pay attention and choose your pattern accordingly. Also, I have not done extensive research on any of these organizations so I cannot vouch for them – do your research and donate where you feel comfortable.

Little Dresses for Africa: Simple dresses are distributed through the orphanages, churches and schools in Africa to plant in the hearts of little girls that they are worthy!

Dress a Girl Around the World: Dresses distributed include a “Dress a Girl” label on the outside of the dress to indicate to predators that an organization is looking after that child.

Dresses for Haiti: This organization looks for beautiful handmade dresses that are not pillowcase style. “We are more concerned about making the young girls happy and instilled with a sense of dignity and pride and if we can do that with a dress then our goal has been accomplished.”

US state foster care agencies (and check out Simple Simon’s Skirting the Issue event).

Please let us all know in the comments if you know of other organizations looking for handmade dress donations. And don’t forget to click over to Melly Sews to find out how to sew shorts for boys!
