Lego fabric dress

8 replies

Dd is 4.5 and would love a dress made from Lego fabric but I can't find one anywhere - what I want is something design wise like this and material wise like this bottom purple one which is sold out.

I cannot sew at all and don't have a machine so wondered if any of you knew

A/ who could make me a dress like this at a reasonable price?
B/ where I could get similar fabric?

Thanks in advance.

The dress style looks fairly straightforward - I would ask in your local sewing shop, your dry cleaners (if they do alterations) or your local college, to find someone who could make it for you.

Re the material, you wouldn't need a huge amount. Might it be worth looking for something like Lego print duvet sets etc, which could be cut up to make the dress? Just wondered whether the print might be easier to track down in that format.

Hadn't thought of sewing shops and the like...thanks.

Had considered a duvet cover but can't find one with a small enough print for it to work on a dress iyswim?

Spoonflower (a US site) has several brick/lego fabrics though I can't see that one.

I was just coming back to say spoonflower too! This one looks close:

Frustratingly, I'm sure I've seen some lego fabric recently on my searches for other fabrics, but I can't for the life of me remember where. I'll keep searching.

The one USO linked to is perfect but I don't know how much I'd need and tbh by looking at the price I'm thinking maybe this idea is a non starter!

Two fat quarters should be enough for a simple pinafore-style dress without sleeves this kind of shape. There may be simple patterns and tutorials online too.

Do you have any crafty/sewer friends or relatives? It would be a fun thing to get them to help you do.
