Wildflower Pinafore - Child sewing pattern

This pattern requires fabric with a good amount of drape to avoid a stiff-looking skirt, but thick enough to avoid a transparent garment. Summer options include: lightweight linen, rayon, silk, seersucker, Tencel, chambray. Double gauze, voile, georgette, lawn, and muslin can be used but will need to be underlined to add some support and reduce sheerness. Winter options include: chambray, lightweight wool with nice drape, soft corduroy, thinner velvet. Lining options include: cotton poplin, voile, lawn, and other lightweight breathable wovens.
