Description

A classic pinafore for work and play. With a buttoned side fastening, side and back pockets. Make it long with a back split or short just below the knee. Accentuate the detailing with contrast top stitching or keep it simple with matching thread.

Skill level – experienced.

All seam allowances are 1.5cm unless stated otherwise and are included in the pattern.

Fabric Suggestions – 8-12oz denim, cotton twill or canvas, corduroy. For a softer look and feel you could try a mid weight linen or tencel/linen blend.

For the facings we would recommend either a cotton muslin or a slip viscose lining.
