Vintage Inspired Pinafore

I finally made a pinafore with portraits in mind. Treasured finds were added to the vintage inspired apron/pinafore. Its a Butterick pattern, size 4. I added and altered, of course. I found a bed skirt at a thrift store with this beautiful crochet lace at the bottom and knew right away this project was going to be special! The rose hangs at the bottom of the skirt/pinafore only in the front, but the lace crochet decorates both front and back.

 In addition to this wonderful detail, I have sewn on a cotton doily which was found at a garage sale a while back.Vintage lace from my Mom adorns the shoulders for a delicate touch. This pinafore ties at the sides for a custom fit and the bodice facing is hand stitched all the way around from the shoulders to the waist. Made of natural cotton muslin fabric, your little darling will not only be wearing a unique piece of  clothing to cover and protect the dress underneath, but she will be wearing it in comfort!
Details will be listed in the new Etsy store. I promise to update soon!
