Does anyone know of a downloadable pattern for a simple toddler pinafore with a round necked bodice and gathered skirt?
I’ve made 2 pairs of dungarees for my granddaughter and thought I’d like to try a pinafore. I was going to try to modify this dungarees pattern, but then thought I might just waste the fabric if I didn’t get it right.   [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Have had another good search around and finally found this, which looks like it might fit the bill. Will let you know if it works.  :D

Have you looked at Violet Fields patterns?  They have some nice free patterns here:

I got a few of these but have yet to try them.  Someone I worked with did and they look really good made up.

Thanks @Kitten . I hadn’t seen that website. The ‘Lola’ top could easily be made as a dress, so I have saved it. As you say a lot of nice tutorials. Thanks for the suggestion.

Well , here it is.. Took no time to make - fabric is from a Scion branded pillowcase- 100% cotton, lovely quality. Haven’t hemmed it or sorted out the shoulder fastening until my little granddaughter tries it on.

That made me smile. It is a little work of art.  :loveit:

My niece (29) loved her summer dresses when she was little because 'the wind blew her arm pips'. We still call them arm pips!  0_0
