From Peppermint Magazine, Issue 51:
Cross-over straps, fun button closures and just a hint of fit-and-flare, our latest pattern is new-season ready!
We collaborated with the clever patternmaker behind Just Patterns, Delphine Colbeau, to create the Milton Pinafore. Channelling all the cottagecore vibes, this twist on a classic pinny is a wardrobe tour de force. Get meadow-ready by layering it over a tee or floaty peasant top or – if your inner cool-girl is calling – strap in the girls and dance the night away sans top. With straps that can be worn straight or crossed (they’re buttoned on the inside of the dart-cinched, sepa- rate waistband), the sewing fun is in the detail – concealed pockets, shaping bust darts and a statement-making button closure! Now hop on ya bike and add it to your to-sew list, pronto!
Recommended Fabrics: For this pattern, I recommend mid to heavy weight fabrics suitable for bottoms such as mid-weight linen, denim, twill, wool and lightweight coatings.
The bib and straps are fully lined with self fabric. If your fabric is heavy weight it is possible to choose a lighter weight fabric for the inner bib and inner straps, e.g. cotton lawn, viscose, acetate lining.
Size Ranges: 34-46 with a B/C cup and 46-60 with a DD cup to K
