Introducing the York Pinafore!

I am thrilled to introduce the latest pattern in my collection, the York Pinafore! This pattern has been a breath of fresh air in my wardrobe and I hope it will be a fun and inspiring sew for you, too. The York Pinafore is a modern take on a classic design with lovely scooped sides and a beautiful cocoon shape. Two options are provided for the neckline, length, and pockets, so you can easily mix and match features to create your own look! Wear the York Pinafore in warmer weather over tank tops and tees, or layer it over leggings and turtlenecks for the cooler months. This truly is a unique piece that will quickly become a favourite due to its comfortable wearability and style.

This pattern is versatile in its wearability and its materials! You can view the size chart and fabric requirements here. York Pinafore The York Pinafore is finished using bias facing. I walk you through how to make the bias tape if you don't have any on hand, and how to get a bias facing perfect finish.
