Peppermint Milton Pinafore - PDF Sewing Patterns

A pinafore with a twist!

This is a free pattern developed in partnership with Peppermint Magazine and Spoonflower. With its relaxed shape, clean lines, and low V-neckline, the Peppermint Milton Pinafore is perfect for layering over T-shirts, turtlenecks, and blouses. The dress features an open back with two straps crossing and buttoning inside the waistband. Its midi-length A-line skirt has back darts for shaping, generous inseam pockets, and a fully buttoned back.

Sizes: 34 - 60. (more information).

The format of the files is a little different to meet the Peppermint Requirements, pattern is available in English and includes:

• a layered PDF pattern in printing options for each of the two size ranges (print at home for US letter or A4, A0, and Projector);
• a cutter's must (a summary table of the pattern pieces and cutting information);
• a PDF layout;
• order of operations ;
• and step-by-step illustrated instructions.

My sample is cut in a brown wool/viscose blend with a nice weight and structure. The Peppermint sample was made in mid-weight cotton twill sponsored by Spoonflower in this lovely denim print by Holli Zollinger. 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 heavyweight, it is possible to choose a lighter fabric for the inner bib and inner straps, e.g., cotton lawn, viscose, or acetate lining.

I wear size 34 for the bodice and waist, graded to a 36 at the hips. The Peppermint model wears size 42. Credit for the Peppermint pictures is “Anwyn Howarth for Peppermint Magazine.”
