Apparently my post about the market bag did absolutely nothing to bring on Spring. In fact, we got even more snow. So here's round two of hoping for better weather. But seriously, it can't get much worse.
I bought the pattern from Aliyah's Hope Chest on Etsy. She emailed the instructions but sent the pattern in the mail. She also sells pinafore kits in her shop. The pinafore was incredibly easy to make thanks to all the detail. There was one tricky part but she had a little video up on YouTube that showed how to do it. After seeing how it was constructed, I didn't have any problems. I actually made 4 more of these to give as Christmas gifts but my friends must not have cameras because I haven't seen any photos.
For the pinafore Zadie is wearing, I used awesome Tina Givens fabric (Chandelier Medallion) in chartreuse for the front and a vintage red fine wale corduroy for the inside. I wish I had fussy cut the print because it's so amazing but that's definitely part of the learning process.It's perfectly reversible -- no weird seams or anything like that. Zadie is wearing the red side here. Unfortunately, my kid is also obsessed with fleece and demanded to wear that ugly hoodie. I will definitely be making many more of these. How cute they will be with little bloomers in the summer.

Make me one while you're at it. Very cute!
Give me your digits. Ha ha.
I want one too!
This is too cute. I seem to remember my grandmother making me a pinafore to wear during my obsessive finger painting phase. Brings back great memories. Thanks for posting :)
Looks great! I've made some of these for Nina! I love how easy they are. I can't tell if you topstitched around the edges of the whole thing, but I've found doing that makes it WAY easy to iron and get right after washing it. Maybe that's just me though.
Thanks. I do love topstitching.
