Girls’ Edwardian Apron Pattern

After repeated requests over the past seven years, I have finally created a companion pattern to my ladies’ Edwardian Apron (below)! This one is designed with today’s child in mind and features a very “grow-able” fit with adjustable criss-cross straps that tie in back. The deep pockets that are a hallmark of the ladies’ pattern are here, too!

* Sizes 2-14 all included in one envelope.
* Extremely forgiving and adaptable fit!
* Easy to sew. This is a fantastic pattern to use as a mother-daughter project to teach sewing!
* Yardage Chart available online.
* Also available for instant download as an ePattern in PDF format!
* You can now purchase and download a class to take you through this pattern step by step! See information below.

Complete with illustrated instructions and packaged in a printed envelope, the pattern is US$12.95, plus shipping. (We can process international orders through Paypal. You will be prompted for your region during checkout.)

This another inspiration for this pattern–a girls’ apron from a 1910s sewing manual.
Many, many thanks to long-time customer Carol K. for the scan and for testing my version!

Thanks to the lovely ladies at Joyous Homemaking, I was able to teach a live class for this pattern and record it. It is now available as a download in two formats. First, if you already have the pattern, you can download just the class itself for $19.95, which includes slide visuals in PDF format and audio in MP3 format. Also included in the PDF are links to four bonus video segments to help you through the steps.

A charming model in the shirtwaist
made with long, cuffed sleeves and a net inset at the neckline.
1909 “Beatrix” Shirtwaist Pattern

After years of customer requests, I created this pattern to go with my “Beatrix” Skirt and Jacket. Now you’ll be able to create a complete outfit–even a jaunty riding habit!–from this trio of patterns, all inspired by 1909 originals.

* Sizes 6-26 all included in one envelope.
* Very comfortable fit (corset optional!) and super for nursing mothers.
* A wide variety of options are included so that you can create an entire selection of blouses for all seasons and occasions.
* Bodice fastens either up the back or the front and can be smooth or softly gathered at the center front.
* Sleeve styles include long and slim, puffed elbow-length, and demi leg o’ mutton with long button cuff.
* Includes alternate necklines for evening wear as well as lace insertion and embroidery designs!
* Yardage Chart available online.

Complete with illustrated instructions and packaged in a printed envelope, the pattern is US$15.95, plus shipping. (We can process international orders through Paypal. You will be prompted for your region during checkout.)


The young lady who created this blouse shortened the collar and used one of the alternate necklines
given on the pattern sheet, following the instructions for a dotted net inset.

This model made her shirtwaist with the back-fastening option and pintucks down the center front.
She has the blouse untucked to show how the ties go around the waist (it can be worn tucked or untucked).

1909 “Beatrix” Skirt Pattern

Created from an original 1909 May Manton pattern, this is my nine-gore “Beatrix” Walking Skirt pattern. This pattern can be used with the Edwardian Walking Jacket or with the “Beatrix” Jacket pattern (see below). Both this skirt and the jacket were inspired by the example of Beatrix Potter, who managed a large farm, took care of animals, sketched, and watercolored — all while wearing sturdy tweed skirts and tailored jackets!

* Sizes 6-26 all included in one envelope!
* Includes options for pleated back or “habit” (straight) back, walking length or train.
* Combine this with the “Beatrix” Jacket to create an authentic Edwardian riding habit! Perfect for side-saddle riders!
* Perfect for a beginner — all straight seams!
* Photo Instructions online!
* Yardage Chart also available online.

Complete with detailed instructions, the pattern is US$15.95, plus shipping. (We can process international orders through Paypal. You will be prompted for your region during checkout.)
