Necessary materials:Cotton fabrics in various colors and patterns
Sewing thread

Step 1: Choose fabrics
Choose the fabrics you want to use for the dress. It is best to use cotton fabrics to make sewing easier and ensure that the dress is comfortable for the child. Choose fabrics in different colors and patterns to create an interesting patchwork effect.
Step 2: Cut the fabrics into squares
Use the ruler and scissors to cut the fabrics into squares of the same size. The amount of fabric needed depends on the dress size and the amount of different fabrics you have chosen.
Step 3: Sew the squares
Now, start sewing the squares together, next to each other, using the sewing machine and the sewing thread. Be sure to sew the squares in the order you want the patchwork pattern.
Step 4: Iron the seams
Iron the open seams, so the dress is flat and beautiful.
Step 5: Cut the dress pieces
Using a toddler dress pattern, cut the dress pieces out of the patchwork fabric you just created. Also cut out the lining pieces for the dress.
Step 6: Sew the dress pieces together
Use the sewing machine and sewing thread to sew the dress pieces together, following the instructions on the pattern. Be sure to sew carefully so that the dress is beautiful and durable.
Step 7: Finish the dress
Finish off the dress by adding any decorations or embellishments you desire. It can be a bow, a ruffle or any other detail you like.
And ready! Now you have a beautiful patchwork dress for a child, made by yourself. Remember that practice makes perfect, so if this is your first patchwork project, don’t worry if it doesn’t come out perfect. With time and practice, you will perfect your sewing skills and be able to create even more beautiful pieces.
