Pinafore

I've been meaning to make Ara a dress since well, the day she was born but this week I finally did it!  I made her a little pinafore dress and it turned out just awesome.  I have big plans to make more today, maybe one for each day of the week. Okay that might be a bit extreme but seriously how adorable does she look?





I didn't really follow a pattern but I looked up some tutorials for you if anyone wants to make their own.
This one is probably the closest:

A couple others:

I also checked etsy for a few pdf patterns you can buy:


I'd like to make some matching bloomers yet too, another project I've never attempted so we'll see how that goes!

  2. That is completely adorable! Love the fabric. Is it reversible? I don't think it is at all too much to have one for every day of the week. :)

  5. BumbleBri: I didn't really use a pattern but the one I linked to from Smashed Peas and Carrots is really similar!
