Meet the Lorna Pinafore Sewing Pattern - Sew Over It

[@kerrymcilwaine]

I have purchased this pattern but I’m a visual learner so I wish there was a sew along video to follow x

[@SusanHaynes-y9h]

My pattern has arrived and I'm so excited to make it up but I need to finish my (slightly 'hacked') Heather dress first! ❤

Love the Lorna pinafore. Am going to buy. Great for work. Can you produce this in sizes for girls aged 8+? Got a grand daughter and a niece in this age group. Loved the Poppy and Jazz Patterns. Unfortunately, my niece and grand daughter are now too big for them. Great as always

Love my Lorna! Wondering I there is a shorts/pants pattern that would be good to “hack” onto the Lorna top to make dungarees?

[@libbymcculla2650]

oh this is another beautiful pattern-😍could I make this in a tweed?- I have a houndstooth tweed in my stash which always seems too beautiful to sew up-

[@lesleyalex6953]

That is exactly what I have been looking for, it's absolutely gorgeous and very flattering. Will you be doing a sewalong? The purple with the mustard is a stunning combination by the way.

Thank you! No Sewalong plans for the time being I'm afraid, but you never know!

Love it ❤❤

I have always loved sew over patterns, but I've noticed the new dress patterns with v neck lines always have too deep a point for me. Any chance patterns could be adapted with different dept of the v?

We get questions on raising wrap necklines of lots of older patterns as well, there's a handy Tutorial on Stitch School: sewoverit.com/products/how-to-raise-a-wrap-neckline 🙂

May I ask how the bust is fitting on this one? I would be making it for someone who is a size 8/10 but has a slightly bigger bust for her size - so always a bit tricky knowing if adjustments need to be made xx

[@SewOverIt]

Hello, we would recommend doing a toile with the straight size first, because the pinafore shape might well fit as it is just by adjusting the length of the straps. If after the toile you think a full bust adjustment might still be needed, drop us an email so we can talk you through the best way to do it 😊
