c. 1750-1820
This is a garment used to protect the child's clothes, and is used for play and daytime wear, as well as for meal time. It is great over a simple shift or gown.
Based on original eighteenth century cutting instructions and construction details.
Other documentation included.
There are two original sizes included:
Small fits up to c. 24" chest
Large fits up to c. 28" chest
This pattern does NOT have a drawstring neck.
It is closed by ties in back (NOT pins!).
This is the predecessor to the "pinafore".
This is also a great pattern for modern children!
Pin-cloths are fun to make and are great baby gifts.
