THE SKIPPER • KIDS • Pattern

By Merchant & Mills, The Skipper is a paper sewing pattern.

Garment Details: Little girl pattern for ages 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 years. Inspired by the classic sailor bib, Merchant & Mills pay homage to the ancient port of Rye (their hometown).

Irresistibly redolent of carefree summer days and never growing up, the skipper is born to play. Featuring relaxed styling for easy dressing in rough seas, the Skipper has dropped shoulders and casual rolled cuffs whilst the neckline has an internal popper at the front V insert.

Sizing: This is a multi-size paper pattern in an envelope, including sizes 3–8 years. For sizing, finished garment measurements and fabric requirements refer to the chart that can be found in the images.

Fabric Suggestions: We recommend medium to lightweight woven fabrics such as denim, cotton chambray, laundered linen or lightweight wool.

The featured dresses have been made using the Judy Green & Goodnight 185gsm laundered linen by Merchant & Mills.

Trims required: Matching Thread, dress popper x 1. Light weight interfacing 0.5m/¾yd. Bias binding - 13mm/½ approximately 0.8m/1yd.

Skill Level: Suitable for an intermediate skill level.

All seam allowances are 1.5cm unless otherwise stated.
