Rickey // Women's Pinafore Jumper Dress Sewing Pattern
The Rickey Pinafore is a minimalist take on the utility trend. Wear it in summer over a tshirt, or layer it up in winter with leggings and books. In sturdy plain fabrics it’s a wardrobe staple, and in bright patterns it’s a statement piece. No one will believe you made this yourself!
The Rickey Pinafore is a waisted miniskirt design with an attached bib. It features a patch pocket on the bib, two more on the bum, and an easy centred zipper in the back.
Skill Level: This pinafore is recommended for beginner to intermediate sewers. It comes together quickly and has detailed instructions. You should have a good understanding of your machine.
