Then come join us soon to make one alongside your virtual sewing pals as we will be hosting a Girl on the Go sew-along April 2-3.
Pattern Description

Yes, yes. thank you so much for this stylish pattern for tweens. As my fashion forward 10 yearold granddaughter continues to want me to sew for her, I struggle to find appropriate patterns.
