Pinafore dress

Last week I said that sewing your own clothes does not save you money unless you recycle. So I digged up an old skirt of myself and made a dress for Saskia. Not only did it not cost a thing, I have an extra zipper now.

The fabric is a baby rib, aka corduroy, the shoulder bands are lined with cotton. I am pleased with the rolled seam on the sleeves, no problem at all. It is an old Ottobre pattern from 2009. I think many of these dresses will follow in the warmer months.
