I also have this up on my website but I would like to put it here for the sake of simplicity~

Please feel free to Adjust the pattern to your liking. This is for up to a 36 inch chest, so be sure to measure around the largest part of your bust to see if this fits, if its a little too small you can make it a little wider at the neckline(#3 and 4) and the U loop on the side.

This Pattern is easily adjustable once you get the hang of it. I use a similiar pattern for my Pinafore tops. The first time you try it, use a cheap fabric or scraps to get a "feel" for the pattern . Let me know if you have any questions!

Simple Apron Smock Top:



1. You'll need about a yard and a half of fabric folded in half.



2. Measure about 3 inches in from the fold and about 7 inches down.

4. at 3 inches inyou will place about 37" of "loop" it looks like a U but I think it fits even better if it looks like a J. But for the sake of simplicity I am using A U shape about 37" in.
