Anyone seen anything like this pattern that is a free one? (A newbie sewer friend is aiming high but doesn't want to fork out for patterns at this early stage - shes made a couple of the bella dress/top for her kids so far). Anything remotely similar would be great

Thanks!

I was browsing kokka fabrics yesterday and happened upon that same blog. Pretty cute tunic/dress/what have you! But I'd steer her away from something so tailored unless she buys the pattern and knows how to adjust it.
eta: I've never seen a free pattern of that complexity, nor styling, freebies are more likely to be a boxy style tunic that she could draft herself off something she already has.

Thanks Hannah, I will steer her away, I had told her that it wouldn't be an easy feat (she has only been sewing since yesterday :lol:

but loving googling patterns!)

Yep, I copied and pasted all the links from the girls pattern thread Claire started.. she went goo goo over them all

Love getting someone else into sewing! Shes not overly convinced on attempting a mcn though, both her girls are in them, I told her she hasn't found the love of minky yet! :whip:

get her to buy a pattern! better to get a pattern that you really like and do a mock in using a cheap fabric (like an old sheet or something) to practise the techniques.
