Today I've been making a reversible pinafore dress for a very worthy cause.
The Craft Gypsy has been highlighting a project undertaken by some lovely ladies at a Spotlight store in Bayswater. They are making reversible pinafore dresses to be sent to an orphanage in Kenya.
I'm not too hot on making clothes, but wanted to try and help out, so I Googled a tutorial, and came up with one, and gave it a go! I think it turned out ok. Tricky to tell for sure on my lovely model here (a wooden frame wearing my daughter's clothes stuffed with newspaper!). Here's the front (got my pictures a bit mixed up!! - the previous picture was the back!):
And it's reversible as I said, so here's the other side:
So I just need to pop that in the post, and hopefully in a few weeks it will be on it's way to Kenya and some little girl will be happy to wear it!

ReplyDeleteYour pinafore is adorable- I love that it's reversible. My mother went on a mission trip to Africa and the children were so grateful for the clothing that they brought. I am sure that your dress will be well loved!
