Pretty Pinafores

I just finished my first reversable pinafore and while I was planning on keeping it secret till it was delivered… however it was too cute not to share.

I love the denim/red dot combination. I took a pattern from a simple pinafore pattern, shrunk it to a 3-6 month size and worked out how to make it reversable. This cute outfit is one of a few I’m putting together to go to a adorable little baby girl in germany. It has taken me a bit of time to get everything together but I’m planning on getting it all done by the webdu conference in May as another friend has offered to take it over.

When I pulled out the pattern, I found the cut out of the below. My second and third outfit were two little pinafores of the same material for my two nieces. While I never found out what happened to them, a friend in NZ thought the outfit was adorable so I scraped enough material to cut out another size 3 outfit for his little girl.
The plan was to sew it when I got my ruffle foot but that got delayed and then it got put away and well… it is now finally done.

I need to finish some jeans to go with it, a pacman dress and send it all over to NZ before it is too small!
