Thanks to Necessity is the Mother, an adorable little shop featured on ETSY this week, I am now completely obsessed with pinafores. Oh my goodness, are these not just exquisite? For some reason, they make me think of Samantha, my favorite American Girl Doll when I was a little girl. If I’m not mistaken, Samantha’s birthday outfit featured a white frilly pinafore over a pink striped dress. I remember thinking that was just the prettiest thing ever!
But now, older and wiser, I actually like these simple ones much better than frilly, lacy, over the top ones. The buttons are super sweet and I love that she recycles old fabric from thrift stores, yard sales, etc. Although I would love to order one of these beauties, I’m not sure that’s in the budget right now, so I’m actually toying with the idea of making one myself. Perhaps even matching mother/daughter pinafores for myself and my little one, Katie Mae. Granted, my sewing skills are not stellar, but with lots of handholding from my mom and grandmother, it just might be possible. I’ve been scouring ebay and etsy for vintage pinafore patterns. I’ll let you know how it goes….
