red red pinafore

A Red Pinafore - (strangely) inspired by the french girl on the bike at the start of the Stella Artois Ad!
I wanted something cute, girly and bright to wear over blouses and vests this summer, and maybe with long socks and turtle necks in winter.

I really wanted to use a heavy weight jersey but couldn't get hold of anything thick enough to keep a good shape, so I found a red cotton drill with a stripe running through it as an alternative.

..I've not taken a decent picture of the finished article yet - looks abit flat and boxy on Doris, she isn't in the best shape...
