Ottobre 03/2004-7
I managed to get this little cutie done just in time for Christmas!
I originally intended to make it out of the vintage corduroy that my mother gave me, but I just couldn't bring myself to cut it for an untried pattern. I have been in love with Vintage Dots forever, so when I saw some in corduroy at Hobby Lobby I snatched it up. It's perfect for this little pinafore.
How cute is this little pocket?! Myra has been tucking cars into it all morning. This pattern has a lot of sweet little details, like the pleated, beaded pocket. The hemline has elastic sewn in at the sides, which gives it a sweet shape. All of the seams are topstitched. It isn't obvious, since I used cream thread, but it is a nice touch. The only thing I might change for the next time would be the straps. They're hemmed on all sides, and I think I'd have preferred to make them as loops so there wasn't an underside.
But Myra's happy! Bring on the presents!!

Myra does look happy in her new Christmas frock! I imagine it was fun at your house yesterday!
Absolutely adorable - Love the dots!!
so precious!
Perfect. I know what you maen about top stitching - and that pocket is adorable. I've had that magazine on my Christmas list for several years now with no luck. I think it is time to break down and order it for myself.
That is so cute!!! I am always a sucker for
1) pinafores/jumpers (there's some confusion in our English/American household about that) and
2) baby-wale corduroy in tiny cute prints
You've put them together perfectly. I'm going to have to see if I have this issue and if so why I never saw this pattern. So CUTE!!
Lovely little pinafore!
So cute! What a great Christmas dress for Myra!
Adorable!!! Hopes for a wonderful 2010!
Darling overall dress. I am glad she is really using that sweet pocket!
