Fresh, joyful and made for sunny days, this Liberty Fabrics Shirred Sundress Kit for children is a lovely little project to sew and to wear. Designed with comfort and play in mind, it features a softly shirred bodice and adjustable tie straps, creating a flexible fit that grows with your child. Made in beautifully soft Liberty Tana Lawn, it’s light, breathable and just the thing for warm weather adventures, garden parties and everything in between.

Shirring is a wonderfully satisfying technique, using elastic thread to create gentle gathers with very little effort, perfect if you’re new to sewing, or simply in the mood for something quick and rewarding. The finished dress is easy to slip on and comfortable to wear, and as your child grows, it can be worn as a skirt for even more life from your make.

If you fancy making a matching version for yourself, the ladies’ shirred dress is available too.
