Cut the following for the baby dress
Cut 2 on fold of bodice.
Cut 2 skirt panels.
Cut strips of jersey knit (across the grain) that are 1 1/4″ wide and long enough to bind the neckline and 2 arm openings.
Step 2 – Sew the Following
Seam allowances are 3/8″. Use a ball point needle for sewing knits and a stretch stitch on a sewing machine or a serger. Hem and topstitch with a stretch stitch or double needle.
With right sides together, pin front to back at one shoulder. Stitch.
Stitch binding to the right side of the baby knit sundress neckline, right sides facing, stretching the binding very gently (do NOT stretch the neckline).
Wrap the binding around the seam allowance to the wrong side and press.
Topstitch the binding in place along the edge, being sure to catch the raw edge of the binding strip on the back.
Carefully trim the excess binding on the wrong side.
Step 3 – Finish the baby dress bodice
With right sides together, sew the second shoulder seam to the baby sundress tutorial.
Bind the two arm openings in the same manner as the neckline.
