I’ve made my favorite jumper pattern as my Daughter’s Christmas dress for a couple years now and this year I’m adding a fun touch with a Disney Embroidery Design created on my Brother Innov-ís NS1750D. I love the fun Disney® Christmas Designs you can purchase on the iBroidery site this holiday season. Here are a few tips for creating a super cute embroidered Christmas Jumper.
Super cute right? This is the free crisscross jumper pattern from Life Sew Savory and I love the sweet back and the button strap is adorable.
- Let’s talk about putting embroidery on a dress. I like having a lining to cover up the back side of the design and also so it doesn’t rub your skin. So first find a pattern you want to use and a cute Christmas design from iBroidery.com. Cut out your dress front.
- Center your hoop (with stabilizer on the back) in the place you want your design.
- Use your machine to embroider the design. I love this Christmas design that I used. I edited it from four colors to three colors to just green, white and red.
- Now you have a finished front design and the back.
- You could leave it just like this but adding a lining covers stitching and if you use soft flannel like I did, makes for a pretty comfortable jumper. This jumper is put together by sewing the outside all together, then the lining together, then sewing the whole thing right sides together and turning.
- Add adorable buttons to the straps and you have a wonderful festive Christmas jumper all ready to go. I used the buttonhole foot on my Brother Innov-ís machine and it worked like a dream for a perfectly sized hole.
- There are so many fun new Disney Christmas designs you will have to check out. What will you embroider on this season? I want to make some festive dish towels and maybe some new stockings… I can’t wait to try more designs!
What a lovely pinafore dress, just love the lining.
No little girls in our family unfortunately.
Would be better worn over trousers since they call it a jumper!!
It’s a jumper and she has leggings on. Very cute. Could wear it over jeans and be just as cute.
I don’t have a little girl, but like the pattern. What kind of hoop can I use that doesn’t leave “hoop burn”?
Thank you for the lovely project! I love the crisscross back which adds a stylish twist to the jumper design. I also love that you chose a flannel lining to cover the back of the embroidery design which adds warmth and comfort. I can not wait to make several of these jumpers for Christmas!
Cute, would look great over leggings, as a pinafore over a cute patterned long sleeve dress. There are just so many ways this could be worn. Great pattern.
Very cute project. Should have used a topper before embroidering to keep stitches from sinking into the fabric 🙂
