Oh Suzanna Smock Sewing Pattern Free Download - offer expired

I am endlessly blown away by how many people come to find patterns and tutorials on Indietutes and then take the time to send me a message on Facebook or email to tell me what they've made.  It is tremendously gratifying to know that what I have learned on my own journey through learning to sew and reconstruct clothing for myself and my children is helpful to others too. 

Did you know that, in addition to the tutorials and patterns here, I have a little pattern shop on Etsy with a few patterns I have developed to help cloth Smootch and Birdie throughout their young years?

Did you want to try one of these patterns for free?

For one week I would like to offer the opportunity to download the Oh Suzanna Smock ePattern right here on Indietutes.  It is a way for me to say thank you all and extra thanks for coming back still as my family has grown over the years and my blogging focus has changed with my family away from sewing tutorials and more towards reading and general crafting.

My peasant blouse tutorial is the number one in popularity of all my tutorials and the Oh Suzanna Smock pattern is this peasant blouse in pattern format for childrens sizes 2-7.

The Oh Suzanna Smock pattern is one of my favorites because the pattern was drafted to facilitate a reconstruction from an adult shirt.  I am a big fan or reusing or upcycling previously loved garments.  Not only does it cut down the resources used but worn, well washed garments contain fewer chemicals than new fabric, which is treated with a variety of potently toxic substances (flame retardants, starches, dyes and such).  Also, if you have a child who is sensitive to fabrics, previously worn materials feel softer on the skin. 

So, freely available from April 12 to 19:
