Free pattern: Little Girl’s Crossover Pinafore

May 16, 2011 by Anne Weaver

Maggie from Smashed Peas and Carrots  shares a free pattern and tutorial on her blog showing how to make a crossover pinafore for little girls.  The crossover back gives it a super flexible fit.  The width automatically adjusts to fit a growing child, so this year’s pinafore can be next year’s top.  Get the pattern and tutorial.

    Hi, I am looking forward to trying your tutorial, but is there anyway to download the pattern pieces without a facebook account as scribd is telling me I need to be on facebook.

    many thanks
    mardi

      Unfortunately, Scribd has a policy that moves older patterns to the “archive”. Without an account (which, if I understand it correctly, you either have to pay for or upload a file in order to obtain), you can’t download the file. I believe that a file can be removed from the archive, but only the author of the file can do that. –Anne

    Hi there, I really want to make this pinafore but when I go to download it it brings up a box and asks me to put in credit card details and I have to pay? Is that right? I thought it was a free pattern….help!

      Shannon, You’ll need a Scribd account in order to get the pattern. You can either pay for the account, or upload one of your own documents to get an account for free. The author is not getting paid any money for this. This is entirely a Scribd thing, and most likely the author knows nothing about this. If I understand things correctly, all newer documents are available for free download. But once a document has been there a while, it gets moved to the archive where an account is needed to access it. I don’t believe that the authors get notification when this happens, so Maggie from Smashed Peas and Carrots probably doesn’t that this is going on. –Anne

30 Jumpsuits You Can Sew Yourself – From Effortless Weekend Wear to Showstopping Styles

Let’s talk about the magic of jumpsuits.

One piece. Endless style. Zero outfit math.

Whether you’re living in your sewing studio or just dipping your toes into garment-making, there’s a jumpsuit pattern out there with your name on it. Think about it:

• Instant outfit (no more staring at your closet at 8am)
• Comfort that looks chic (secret pajama vibes, but make it fashion)
• Custom-fit perfection (goodbye gaping backs and too-long straps!)

But here’s the problem – store-bought jumpsuits never seem to get it quite right. The waist hits at the wrong spot. The straps dig in. The fabric feels cheap.

That’s why we’ve hunted down 30 incredible jumpsuit patterns – from easy-breezy weekend rompers to sleek, tailored styles that’ll make you feel like a fashion designer. And the best part? Many of these are absolutely FREE.

Whether you’re a beginner looking for a quick win or an advanced sewist ready for a challenge, this roundup has your next favorite project. Let’s find your perfect match!
