I’ve given up waiting for good light to photograph these little pinafores, so please excuse the slightly weird pics.
Both are made from this pattern:
It’s such a simple pattern which makes up in no time at all.
I’m sure you’ll recognise that the navy dress is the last of the nasty polyester. The pink is a piece of floral corduroy given to me by Himmelbjerget.
Both dresses have a straightforward lapped zipper at the centre back:
with armhole and neckline facings which you can just see peeping out on this picture.
The navy dress has a ribbon faced hem just because I could:
and the pink hem has the best top-stitching I have ever achieved. I’m mighty chuffed with it:
- I’ve fiddled with the exposure here to show the stitching
The stash gets smaller!
I love pinafore dresses for little girls, these are lovely. I bet Button is pleased as Punch
Love the roses and the topstitching! Good luck at the adoption hearing tomorrow.
Those are absolutely adorable!!!
Very cute, about to try my own couple, making them for a friends daughter, I have 2 boys *cry*, Im going to attempt some alterations to the pattern so I hope they turn out alright. Thanks for posting photos so we can see how the pattern comes out, and in my case where I will make the changes.
There’s a definate shortage of adorable patterns for small boys out there, so I feel your pain.
Would love to see your versions.
