Wildflower Pinafore - Women's/Curved Fit sewing pattern

This pattern requires fabric with a good amount of drape, to avoid a stiff-looking garment in the 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.

Spool of coordinating thread. • Up to 20” (50cm) of light to medium-weight interfacing to stabilise the facings - see more information below.
