  1. Sandra –

    Brilliant pattern. Great for summer. I made the smallest size and the fit is perfect. I have never had princess seams that fit me so well. I used a horizontal stretch cotton satin the I had in my stash a few years. Sewing instructions were great. It was a surprisingly quick sew too. Thank you Kennis.

  2. Lesley –

    Lovely pattern to sew. Made it in babycord. Great fit. Excellent instructions

  3. Nicole –

    I love all of your patterns! Patterns are always carefully vetted, always print perfectly, and instructions are always easy to understand.

  4. Sarah –

    I love this pinafore, clear instructions and it went together well.

  5. Robyn –

    I love the styling of this pattern which is perfect for an hourglass shaped body. The little details at the back add another level of interest to this relatively simple garment which will be useful through many seasons for me.

  6. Belinda Renken –

    As with all the patterns that I have purchased from ITS, this is just another winner. I have already made a soft denim one and will be making a corduroy one soon. The only change I am making is to make it shorter, otherwise the pattern is perfect.

  7. Elizabeth Ferguson –

    Lovely dress. Huge pockets! Nice and easy to sew up and great for work. I used a navy needlecord and it looks great on its own or layered with a shirt or top underneath

  8. Marlene –

    I’ve been looking for this pattern for a long time! I consider myself a beginner sewer of clothing. I sewed when I was a teenager but mostly simple blouses so I was nervous about sewing princess seams as I had never done them before. I read the instructions several times and went slowly as I sewed making sure I was doing it correctly. I found the instructions to be very clear and easy to understand. I’m almost finished now and it’s turning out really well!! I can’t wait to try it on.

  9. Anonymous –

    Great pattern and instructions, as usual.

Material

Primary Fabric Use a medium-weight woven fabric with a slight 2-way or 4-way stretch (about 5%), such as corduroy, denim, twill, gabardine, wool or wool blend, sateen, canvas, or stretch suiting.

Interfacing Use lightweight fusible woven or weft insertion interfacing.

Other Materials

  • Eight (8) 3/8” (1 cm) buttons
  • 120” (305 cm) of 1 1/2”-wide (3.8 cm-wide) flat (non-folded) bias tape made from a very lightweight woven fabric such as batiste, voile, or lining fabric. Alternatively, make continuous bias tape using a 14” x 14” (36 cm x 36 cm) fabric square by following this tutorial: itch-to-stitch.com/biastape
  • 15” (38 cm) of 3/8” or 1/2” (1 cm or 1.25 cm)-wide straight fusible stay tape (or you may cut your own using lightweight woven fusible interfacing on the straight grain)
  • For the optional back strap: One (1) buckle with a center bar, measuring 1” (25 mm) in internal width.

    • Fabric Requirements

    Most natural fibers shrink in the wash; be sure to have enough fabric. The requirements below assume that the fabric is already pre-shrunk.

How to choose your size

  1. Determine your cup size—subtract the circumference of your over bust from the circumference of the fullest part of your bust. If the rounded difference is 1″ (2.5 cm), use A cup; 2″ (5 cm), use B cup; 3″ (7.5 cm), use C cup; 4″ (10 cm), use D cup; 5″ (12.5 cm), use DD cup.
  2. After determining the cup size, compare your bust circumference (fullest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Using the corresponding row for your cup, choose the size that best fits your bust. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
  3. Compare your waist circumference (narrowest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that best fits your waist. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
  4. Compare your hip circumference (widest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that fits your hip best. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
  5. It’s OK to use different sizes for the bust, waist and hip. The instructions for blending sizes are included in the pattern.
  6. If you are taller or shorter than 5’6” (168 cm), you should consider lengthening or shortening the garment. The instructions for lengthening or shortening are included in the pattern.
