This pattern draws from classic workwear pinafores, reworked with a soft sweetheart neckline and full button placket running from bust to hem. Wide straps sit comfortably on the shoulder, and the fitted bodice releases into a gentle A-line skirt that falls to the floor. Roomy patch pockets sit at the hip, sized for phones, keys, or hands on a slow afternoon.
Sew it in a mid-weight linen or linen-blend for the drape shown here, or try cotton twill for more structure. The all-the-way-down button front makes it easy to get in and out of and works equally well layered over a t-shirt or worn on its own in warmer months.
Includes a separate bodice front pattern piece for the button placket, full-length skirt panels, pocket pieces, and options for both a fitted and slightly looser bodice.
