This brightly coloured fabric was fashioned into gabachas, or full aprons, with the yoke, cuffs, pockets and ruffle cut on the bias to provide decorative contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorn by women in the home and marketplaces, this pert pinafore has puffed sleeves with either a narrow straight cuff or decorative shaped cuff; or it may be worn sleeveless. For contemporary wear, Folkwear's version closes at the centre back with a zipper. The dress is gathered at the front waist with a tie belt that emerges from shaped pockets. It also gathers at the square yoke in front and back and falls to street length, finishing with a hem ruffle. Instructions are included for the authentic open-backed apron version too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis sewing pattern is available to buy in the following formats:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e– PDF\u003c\/strong\u003e (available to download immediately after purchase). \u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthefoldline.com%2Fhow-to-buy-sewing-patterns%2F\u0026amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C2055db73b3ff43fa6a0c08d812112ec9%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637279212288807611\u0026amp;sdata=jGOEMr6nT4ZZme5CCL3wpMxImes8GGoiMxBHviYtfeQ%3D\u0026amp;reserved=0\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePDF\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e– PDF pattern + Printed A0 copy shop \u003c\/strong\u003e(We print out the A0 pattern sheets, but you’ll need to download the digital instructions, as we don’t print these.
