Apron / Pinafore Pattern
Apron / Pinafore Sewing Instructions
Today's model is my 18 inch Helene by Corolle - with Floppy by her side as usual.
The small photo shows the bow tied on the back of the pinafore.
Hints and tips:
- Color coordinate the outfit - such as a darker dress with a lighter apron or vice versa.
- Two calico prints - one light and one dark - also fit nicely together.
- Finish the hem of the pinafore just above the finished hemline of the dress so you can still see some dress - this frames the pinafore nicely.
- On the dress, use velcro buttons at the neck and just above the waist rather than buttons or snaps if the dress will be for a child.
- One the pinafore sew the ribbon over the waistline and make it long enough in back to tie in a bow.
Have fun sewing this cute outfit for a favorite doll!
