The Perfect Pinafore

I think I’ve found my favourite pinafore pattern. This is my second version which is the button down hack that Helen has on her website. It’s such a quick and easy make. It hardly needs any fabric and I love the bias binding finish.

Helens advice on fitting is amazing and she explains exactly how it should be fitting each point. I graded from a M at the shoulders to a L at the waist and did the FBA lengthening at the top.

I also have my wearable toile version which is perfect so don’t like calling it that anymore!

For my about the adjustments I made and photos head over to my blog https://sewinthegardendotcodotuk.wordpress.com/2019/09/07/helens-closet-york-pinafore/
