Build an entire back-to-school wardrobe with just one pattern!
This PDF download includes a cropped top offered in five different styles ... one for every day of the school week! Each top is completely lined with your choice of back closure, including hook-and-loop tape, snaps or buttons. Depending upon your choice of fabrics and closures, these tops may also be reversible - doubling your options!
Also included with this pattern is a bonus Simple Skort pattern featuring a flat front, short skirt with contrasting waistband and slightly elasticized back, which means easy dressing for even the littlest fingers. The pattern was designed as a skirt with attached shorts underneath; however, both the skirt and the shorts can be made as standalone items. Instructions are included for each.
