The Kalle Shirt Dress pattern is one of those patterns you love to have in your stash. It is super versatile, offering different looks and options. If you are considering making a blouse and are a little hesitant about taking on a classic men’s oxfords style, then start with the Kalle. You will learn to sew a beautiful collar, perfect plackets, and well constructed yokes. Three important parts of an iconic shirt dress.

Pattern sewing for beginners doesn’t have to be overwhelming, a simple sewing project is best. With careful, step-by-step guidance, you can become an accomplished sewist. My heart is in teaching the craft of sewing, it is a fun place to express your personal style while exploring your creative side. Start with an easy sewing pattern and open up a new creative world. You will be making your own clothes before long and loving what you wear.
The pattern is simple and should be added to your fall sewing plans. It is a good option for someone with beginner sewing skills who can follow a pattern.
My next project for Simplicity 8377 is with this delicious creamy ponte roma from Minerva. It’s perfect for a winter white cardigan. It’s their Ponte Roma Double Stretch Knit — I can’t wait to cut into this one.
