School uniforms

School uniform time is here again and all the kids are bigger and taller. It would save a bundle if we had access to some of the patterns used. On the uniform site, I see the following for girls: Plain uncuffed short with pockets, skorts, modesty short, stitch down pleated skirt, tennis short and drop waist jumper. These are for girls, k through 6 so sized accordingly. Any patterns available so we can sew our own? Store prices are pretty high, especially when I already have 3 yards of the fabric!

Have you tried searching for free patterns for any of those yet? You might have some luck on the Dr. Cos website

Thank you for posting on the topic! Yes, I have tried a general search, but I haven’t found any patterns that look like the skorts, etc. I have tried simple alterations for better fit on some purchased items and those things are COMPLICATED! I have sewn over 40 years and am not a novice, but I would not attempt these uniform items without a trusted pattern. I will look at that website, too. Thanks

Another source, not free, but lower cost is Lekala. They might have patterns that would work, and you can input your measurements so that the pattern is fitted to the person you’re sewing for
