For the calculations provided in the fabric requirement table, we have used the standard European fabric width, which is typically 140 cm (55 inches).
Please note that different fabrics can shrink differently after washing, so we recommend adding extra fabric to account for this shrinkage. It's advisable to purchase additional fabric to ensure you have enough for your project.

Super schön und einfach zz nähen.
Beautiful pattern! I love that it will grow with my daughter and it's my favorite pinafore pattern. I wish the instructions/illustrations were a bit more detailed on the straps section but I have only been seeing for a couple of months and still figured it out so I recommend to beginners.
Cute easy pattern. Great instructions
Easy to follow. Exactly as pictured.
Loved this pattern, so versatile. Although need some work with detailed instructions, i still loved how this turned out for my sew!
