Season 12 of The Great British Sewing Bee has come to an end and what a season it has been! Read to find out who won and their experience on the show.
We first featured The Pinafore Dress in Simply Sewing magazine issue 61, but we made a mistake when we sent the pattern envelope to the printers and incorrectly stated that it was available in sizes UK 6-24, when in fact our original pattern only included sizes UK 6-20.
So we’re giving you the extra 2 sizes free in this post for anyone out there who brought the issue with these sizes in mind, or for anyone in general who would like to make a pinafore dress in sizes 22 or 24.
Read on to get our free digital sewing pattern for The Pinafore Dress in UK sizes 22 and 24:

The pinafore dress printed pattern in sizes 6-20 (UK) is available with issue 61 of Simply Sewing magazine. Order your copy today in our online store.
