Types of models
Children's denim sundresses for girls are now presented in a huge assortment. All models are bright and stylish, each is good in its own way. Jeans are breathable, which means that the child in such clothes will feel comfortable. Having decided on the choice of style, it remains to replenish stocks with the necessary accessories. Now you can proceed directly to the tailoring of the product. Sundress can be:
- classic - the most simple cut and minimum finishing;
- trapezoidal - for convenience and speed of movement;

- bright - decorated with various decorative elements.
Kids always prioritize convenience, which means it's better to give preference to simple cut models, because they are versatile and practical.
Material selection
Handmade-craftswomen recommend making patterns for children's denim sundresses as simple as possible, especially if you are sewing them for the first time. For work, you can use ordinary old jeans. Based on the needs of the child, you should decide on the density of the material. For a more ceremonial exit, it is better to choose a thinner fabric, and in everyday wear, classic denim showed itself perfectly, from which the first tight and high-quality jeans were once sewn.
Preparing fortailoring
Everyone has old jeans (the flared version is especially good in this case). Having cut off the top and carefully ripped the legs at the seams, we will get an almost ready-made children's denim sundress. In this case, the side seam of the legs will become a decorative trim that will pass through the center of the front and back of the finished product. Before starting work, prepare all the necessary material in advance:
- Jeans, the girth of the finished product will depend on their size, so you need to take a model for adults.
- Sharp scissors, preferably tailor's, as they are long and can cut through thick double seams.
- Buttons and strong threads in the color of the product.
- Decorative elements - beads, shreds of bright fabric, lace or rhinestones.
Simple model
You can make a children's denim sundress with your own hands using the simplest pattern for an apron. The classic model of our product is very similar in style.
- Prepare the jeans, cut off the top with sharp scissors.
- Spread the remaining legs at the seams, you will get two even or slightly flared rectangles to the bottom (depending on the model of trousers - classic or flared).
- First they need to be stitched to get a solid canvas.
- Now spread it on a flat surface and start cutting (the width of the product corresponds to the circumference of the child's waist + allowances for the seam, the length is measured from the chest, taking into account future straps).
- The shape of the cut product should resemble an ordinary kitchen apron. Atmake grooves if necessary. Now you can start the general assembly of the sundress.
- Jeans do not require the mandatory processing of extreme seams and, if desired, they can be left open.
- From the rest of the fabric, make straps by sewing long strips of material with a finishing seam and tacking them in the right places to the product. Fasten with buttons.
- Do not forget about the periodic fitting, which will make the children's denim sundress as comfortable as possible. If necessary, adjust it in some places.
- If everything is fine and the child approved the quality of tailoring, you can proceed to its design.
Reversible sundress
This similar model is simple in its execution, suitable for beginner craftswomen, but has its own zest - the reverse bright side. For work, we need all of the above materials and a piece of colorful multi-colored chintz.
- Prepare your jeans, rip them apart, stitch along the seams. Make sure that the decorative seam is on the front of the product.
- Make a pattern in the shape of an apron from denim and exactly the same from calico.
- Join the pieces together by stacking one on top of the other and sewing around the edges. The result is a double-sided product that must be sewn with a neat double seam on the back.
- Chittz is distinguished by its "flowability", so the edges of such a sundress require mandatory processing.
- It remains to sew straps to it and decorate with decorative details.
Finish & Accessories
Children's denim sundresses (photo options are presented above) are universal in every way. They can be supplemented with convenient pockets (previously repulsed them from jeans), decorate with a bright border along the edge of the hem or embroider the straps with beads. Bright fabric flowers look very good on such products, which are easy to make yourself.
- Prepare some paper stencils in different sizes of flowers.
- Place them on the fabric, secure with pins and cut around the edge.
- Lay the pieces on top of each other, fasten them with a beautiful decorative bead.
The more patterns there are, the more magnificent the final result will be. It remains to sew a flower to our product in the right place. Such an originally designed sundress will become an ideal walking option and one of the most favorite things of the child, which he will not want to change for another.
