Make my Week #35 - draft your own pattern

{photos by Cait of CHD}

a few of you asked for a pattern for this reversible cross-over pinafore tutorial.

i don't have one, but here's how you can easily draft your own:

::take a pinafore/singlet/dress in the correct size and trace around it - i only traced half then folded and cut the other half - adjusting length as required:

::it should look a little something like this::

::to make the back piece, match the side seam and opposite shoulder seam. the rest entirely depends on your preference in curves::

**if don't have enough fabric to cut as a solid piece, use these two pieces (cutting 2 of the back) and add side seams**

::to make it a solid pattern piece (like i used) simply tape sides together, fold at centre front and cut on fold in fabric::

pretty easy huh?

(i must apologise for pukey picture quality. it seems winter is throwing a tanty about heading north so it's dark,dark,dark indoors today)
