🎨 School Smock — PDF Sewing Pattern
6 sizes, 1 to 6 years · Full button front · Seam allowance included · A4, US Letter, A0 and projector files · English and Spanish
A smock is the garment you let get ruined.
That is the whole point of it. Paint on the sleeves, glue on the front, whatever happened at lunch — it all lands on the smock instead of on the clothes underneath, and the clothes underneath are the ones you actually mind about. Which is exactly why it is worth sewing rather than buying: you can make three, in inexpensive cotton, for less than one bought one costs — and you will not wince when the first comes home covered in poster paint. 🎨
And the front buttons matter more than they look. A smock that goes on over the head has to be wrestled on by an adult; one that opens all the way down the front, a four-year-old puts on herself. On a garment that goes on and off every single day at school or nursery, that is the difference between a useful thing and a thing that stays in the bag.
