Sew Different: Mini-Me Peekaboo Dungarees

A paper sewing pattern by UK Indie pattern company Sew Different.

The Peek-a-Boo Dungarees are perfect for little explorers. They are loose fitting with plenty of pockets to fill with treasures and the straps can be fastened with either buttons or knots. The full-length versions have cute turn-ups that you can match to the pockets! Or the alternative is a summertime three-quarter length. Ages 1-3 years old have optional inside-leg fastenings for easy nappy changes. The peek-a-boo cat appliqué comes in three sizes for either the front or the back pockets. The dungarees can be made in anything from a lightweight cotton to a hard-wearing denim or corduroy.

Level: Intermediate

Suggested fabrics: cotton, denim, corduroy.

The pattern contains seven sizes, for ages 1, 2, 3, 4, 5-6, 7-8 and 9-10.
