121 Guatemalan Gabacha / Printed Pattern

Sizes XS-3XL.

Worn by women in the home and marketplaces, this pert pinafore sewing pattern has puffed sleeves with either a narrow straight cuff or decorative shaped cuff; or it may be worn sleeveless. For contemporary wear, our dress version closes at center back with a zipper. The Dress is gathered at front waist with a tie belt that emerges from shaped pockets. It also gathers at the square yoke in front and back and falls to street length, finishing with a hem ruffle.

This sewing pattern includes instructions for the authentic open-backed apron. To make an authentic version, use gingham or plaid. Cut yoke, cuffs, pockets, ruffle, and optional handwork on the bias.
