Cleo Pinafore Dungaree Dress Workshop

The Cleo pinafore is easy to make and oh so comfortable to wear. Make it dungaree-style with buckles or as a pinafore with buttons, with mini- or knee-length hem, optional centre front split, choice of patch pockets and contrast topstitching. Wear Cleo year round, over a Breton top in the summer or with a roll neck and snuggly tights in winter. Flattering on different shapes, once you try it, you'll wonder how you lived without a dungaree dress!

SIZES (body measurements)

You will need to pre wash your fabric prior to the workshop so make sure you buy your fabric in plenty of time.

If you would like to make many of the garments from your pattern, we will give you your pattern prior to the day so you can trace your correct size at home. Free feel to pop in store to collect. On the day we will cut straight from the pattern piece otherwise, which means you will lose the other pattern pieces. 

It can be a long day so feel free to bring a packed lunch with you!! We aim to complete our pinafore around 2pm - 2.30pm
