Pattern review: Janey Jump Around dress Peekaboo Pattern Shop


It has been a while since I’ve reviewed a pattern. I can directly attribute my lack of ‘new’ pattern making to my busy market period. I tend to not have any time to make additional things other than my market stock. Since I don’t have another market now until September, I have some spare time on my hands and have been making lots for the owlets lately.


Janey Jump Around dress
I’ve been trying more and more to sew with knit / jersey fabric. As soon as this was available I downloaded it – and it’s free! I love the simplicity of the pattern. That it is comfortable to wear a dress to play in and can also be a little more special.

The pattern is sized from 6 months to 10 years. I made a size 5 for my little owlet who only just turned 5 in February. She is small but I like this has room for layering and growth. 
Ignore the fact that I cut the front pieces the wrong way, I just had to be careful to cut them both the wrong way. I also have used some fold over elastic all around the front rather than the suggested ribbing just to add my own spin. I choose the long sleeves and omitted the ribbing on the cuffs. There is option for short sleeves and you could make it sleeveless if you fold over a scant hem.

I will need to replace the buttons here as they are too small but I couldn’t find the right size or colour amongst my very random vintage stash of buttons. These were chosen by Miss 5 of course!

A little singlet poking out underneath - whoops!

Will I make this again? - absolutely. I think this is a great every day dress for weekend wear or kindergarten.
Will I make this to sell for Lil Pip? – No – yet again a lack of good quality knit at a reasonable price point. I’m happy to pay for my own children but I don’t think people would pay what I would need to charge.

Fabric: Found at Spotlight last year. I collect whenever I can!

Difficulty (1-10 scale with 1 being easy and 10 hard): 6 just because it is knit and some find it a little more challenging. The actual construction of the dress is quite simple.
Time: A very quick sew – perhaps 1 to 1.5 hours including cutting the fabric.

  3. Jinx, I bought the fabric for one of these just yesterday. My previous attempts at sewing with knit have been a fail but I'm getting back on the horse and trying again.

    I can't see where you've cut anything upside down though? Ohhh, you've inverted which side the mock wrap is on. Pfft, no biggie there. I thought you meant the pattern on the fabric and was scratching my head trying to work out how it was directional in the first place!
