My Creative Space - Reversible winter weight Pinafore

I'm not at all sure why I jumped into the 'Pinafores for an Orphanage' cause so enthusiastically, considering that I've never really made clothing before. And I've certainly never made a dress before! A whole lot of optimism and a 'Have a Crack' attitude I presume!

Armed with new confidence after my unexpected success in turning out 3 lovely (if I do say so myself) pinafores for the orphanage, I have whipped up another Pinny for my niece's 2nd birthday. This is a winter weight dress made using embroidered corduroy.


I even had a go at pockets on this one using this great tutorial from Made By Rae.


I have to take it in a bit under the arms (she's a tiny little thing!) and it still needs hemming and some buttons. Hoping to finish it today!

  4. Beautiul pinny! I love the fabric! Having made a pinny for the orphanage cause myself (inspired by you) I too think I might have a go at clothes for my girls! (never been game to until now!)
