Although I love to flick through copies of Ottobre magazine to find new things to make for Ollie and his little friends, I'm often put off by the choice of fabrics they use. I sometimes have difficulty seeing past a fabric that doesn't tickle my fancy - too floral, or perhaps too pink?
I was therefore absolutely delighted to see this gorgeous Ottobre creation by Leisl of Jorth. Inspired!
I rifled through my stash to find some stretchy black denim and red and white striped quilting cotton, and set to work making this little pinafore for our little soon-to-be 3 year old friend who spends two days a week with my Ollie.
She is a gorgeous girl who owns far too many pink clothes for my liking (all hand-me-downs, I'm assured), so I steered well clear of anything pink.
Ollie and I made a mad dash to Chadstone at 9am this morning to find her some red leggings and long sleeved tee to coordinate with her new dress. I was very happy to see her wearing the outfit this afternoon for her party!Pattern: Pinafore Dress in size 92cm
