A couple of months ago I found a fab 50s sewing pattern - Simplicity 5763 (in Sue Ryder Vintage & Retro in Peterborough of course!) for a great pinafore. I had already upcycled an 80s skirt into this pinafore and wondered how the pattern would work if I took an entire skirt - here a lovely green linen skirt with great topstitched gored panels - then removed the waistband and cut the neckline and armholes from the pattern before seaming.
As well as upcycling a green linen skirt, I used a 50s bandana to make the pocket and gave an outing to a couple of vintage 30s green buttons from the stash.
More details on the making of this pinafore on my blog here.
Happy sewing everyone. x
