In honour of the beautiful blue skies overhead this week, I made Keira a new blue dress to wear to school. After a bit of experimenting with vintage patterns, I think I finally found a pinafore i'm happy with- it's a combination of a few different designs. It has a zip in the back but if i make it again, I'll leave that out because it's loose enough to be pulled over the head, and I'm all for children getting dressed by themselves.
I used cotton chambray (a kind of lightweight denim) for this and big tortoiseshell buttons. The fabric was originally an unfinished skirt that I found at the op-shop… score.
I like how this dress has a school uniform-y feel to it and K loves the big pockets- lots of room for the treasures she's constantly collecting on her day-to-day business.
