I've always shied away from sewing with knits but with four grandchildren it is almost impossible to sew and not include knits at least once in a while. Brindle and Twig has some of the most wonderful patterns for children and I have found them to be so well drafted and their instructions meticulously written. Additionally they have a website with tutorials.
Below is their T Shirt dress made for my 6 and 8 year old granddaughters. This is the second time I've made this pattern. It is asymmetrical, with the back longer than the front. The pattern has looked good on them as toddlers and now as bigger girls. They've always worn it with coordinating leggings making it warm and comfortable. A real keeper.
The fabric is from Quilted Threads in Henniker, NH, which sadly closed this fall after many years due to retirement. A real treasure of a shop that is sorely missed!
