Maz- is it the same pattern you use for all your pinnies? I'm sure mine will look nowhere near as good but I'm looking forward to having a crack at it. have some cute summery fabrics to use.
Thank you so much Trill

yes, mine is based on it. Mine aren't reversable (just lined) and Ive changed the straps but honestly, I can follow a pattern for quids but this man...it was very easy to do

I haven't had time to make it yet, but it is one of the easiest patterns I have ever seen. It really is very simple and perfect for beginning sewers. It's even easier if you don't do it as a reversible dress. You could get one done in under an hour I reckon

I made it!! Took me a while to figure out how to put the straps on (had a mummy moment I think...lol). I made it reversible, but it won't be used on the reverse side because it's just white cotton..thought it would look better if it was lined with something. There was probably an easier way to do it..lol. My hemming skills also leave a lot to be desired, but I think it looks pretty good.
And she matches the new bag I made

Great job!! That turned out really well. You'll have to make her heaps more now.
Nothing like a cuddle from DD after a hard day's work!
Thats so nice!
SS you have inspired me to finish mine.
Mind you i didnt get any patterns im just trying to cut one out of an existing dress. Will that work ladies? Ie if i cut 10cms around an existing pinny?
I went to spotlight and was looking at the patterns but each one costed over $15!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WT!

10 cms?? Did you mean 1 for a seam allowance? Yep I have tried doing that before and it works ok. You do need to allow for seams all the way around and you need to make sure it is lying really flat when tracing! Good luck!

Lol. I bought some christmas fabric in Spotlight today so will make her one to wear in December. Need to get some plain red or green fabric for the straps though, I think it will look nicer.
