I have a couple of children's patterns at home. I can't remember whether they had pinafores on them. I know that each had a lot of different things on them. The boys are all too big for them now, so if they look of any use to you, I shall send them with the hats.

The applique bit is lovely. The only problem I would foresee is the weight of the fabric and whether it would hang well. Otherwise it is very nice. The colours are good together.

My patterns have sleeping bags, hats, all in ones, trousers and tops on, but no dresses. If you want them I can send them anyway.
