Dungarees and Pinafore Dress sewing pattern (Ages 3 to 10)
This is the Dungarees and Pinafore Dress pdf sewing pattern from the designer Ruth Maddock Makes.
If you have a girl then you can make her the dungarees and/or the pinafore dress, while if you have a boy then then the dungarees are just perfect.
This sewing project is actually suitable for children with sensory issues. The adaptive clothing features for your Sensory Child are:-
- The straps have elastic so your child should be able to pull on and off without undoing the knot or buckle.
- The pocket can be used to store special toys.
- The seams are all worked inside out so no scratchy seams or labels.
- You can use a soft fabric suitable for your child, or a pre owned fabric to avoid that ‘new’ feeling.
Please note that the embroidered applique design for a tool kit or bunny and flowers is optional and comes as a separate template and instructions.

- 3 years,
