Thereโ€™s a whole lot of kidsโ€™ clothes we feature here that must inspire the craftier moms among us to proclaim I could make that myself. Well la-di-da for youโ€“ not all of us are so very skilled that we could โ€œmake that ourselvesโ€ without it looking like something out of a tenth grade Home Ec class.

But then Linda Trent comes along and gives us a little cheat: DIY dress kits including the pattern, the pre-cut fabric and the accessories you need to make peasant dresses, cowboy skirts, and versatile tunics. She even includes the thread.

Total cost for a brand new dress for your little girl? $10-$15. And itโ€™s not even made in Cambodia. โ€“Liz

Find these childrens dress patterns and kits at Little Fish Big Pond.

Congratulations Amy Y, Michelle C, and Tiffany L โ€“ lucky winners of their own DIY dress kits!
