A new sewing adventure to bore you all with: I borrowed a vintage apron pattern from Lemonianta and used it to make her an apron as part of her birthday present. It turned out well, and here it is (on me):
Lyra’s Godmother liked it so much she has requested one the same for her birthday! It’s a great pattern although quite fiddly due to lots of gathering, and uses a whopping 2.6m of fabric, which could make two dresses! But it is a lovely, unusual garment, and I love the vintage style, especially the full skirt. And of course, it’s always good to make things for other people.

I reckon if you put a zip in the back of this and crossed the straps (I just noticed there are buttons on the back!) you could make this in a nice fabric to wear as a sort of pinafore dress!
Worth a try?
