Tilly and the Buttons - Cleo Pinafore and Dungaree Dress

SEW AN EASY PINAFORE OR DUNGAREE DRESS!

Great for beginners and bang on-trend, Cleo is simple to sew, with no fiddly zips and minimal fitting required – hooray! Make it dungaree-style with buckles, or as a pinafore with button fastenings. Choose from mini length or knee length with optional centre-front split, patch pockets on front or back, and optional contrast topstitching.

This easy-to-use sewing pattern will take you through the steps to making the Cleo dungaree dress, with jargon-busting instructions and photos showing you how to sew each part.

Wear Cleo all year round, layered over a t-shirt, shirt or sweater – the relaxed style makes it oh so comfortable!

"This sewing pattern is really fun to sew. It has the most beautiful instruction booklet, which is easy to follow. Everyone should sew a Cleo dress!" - Harriet

"Got to say a huge thank you to you all at Tilly and the Buttons for creating such an easy-to-understand pattern. I love it. This won’t be my last Cleo, and I’m already looking at which of your patterns to get next." - Natalie
