I realized that many readers of my blog\nare totally new to sewing \u2013 some even told me that they only started sewing in\nMay or June when the pandemic forced every one to stay at home. I love how the\nhobby of home sewing becomes more and more popular. I was also one who was\nfirst curious about sewing \u2013 and got addicted \u2013 and finally became a\nprofessional pattern maker and sewer! I believe even after the pandemic is\ngone, we are going to have lots and lots of home sewists!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to help sewing novices with some\neasy projects that still look great \u2013 I am focusing on simple designs that do\nnot require too much skills. But the designer in me always tells me to look for\nthose that will look good \u2013 if not great \u2013 on just anybody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And one of the one I found super lovely\nand classy is shared today \u2013 the Vera pinafore dress!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may think that wearing a pinafore\ndress may make you look like a little girl \u2013 but that\u2019s a wrong idea. This\ndress is versatile and can be worn during any season! You can have a look at\nhow one of my favorite bloggers styled her pinafore dress here: Style not brand<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

So back to the Vera pinafore dress today.\nIt features a shorter length (above the knee), with a loose fitting, deep V\nneck, button down front and two large patched pockets. All you need is some\ntime and patience, and you will get a great piece of garment to play with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what\u2019s more, the Vera pinafore dress\nis created in 10 sizes from XXS to 5XL, which means even if you are skinny or\nchubby, you can find one that fits you best!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pattern is made using layered PDF,\nplease check for your desired size before printing so you won\u2019t waste your\npaper. I have included a first page with many details about sizing and\nprinting, so please first read the first page and make sure you know what size\nyou need! If you still do not know how to print a layered PDF, please check for\nthe instruction here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can print this using your home\nprinter and A4\/Letter paper. I calculated the printing area so that you will be\nable to use either type of paper to print the pattern out perfectly. Always\nprint the first page first and check with the test square if you are printing\nat the right scale before you print out the whole pattern \u2013 avoid waste of ink\nand waste of paper, save the earth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some PC may print smaller than actual\nsize even when you choose 100% scale \u2013 I don\u2019t know why this problem exist, but\nmy HP laptop cannot print true to size. I have to scale up to 103% to get the\nright size. You may need to check with your PC to see if it prints true to\nsize, if not, scale up a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
