But I don’t really care
. No danger of me ever having an oversized ego in this family!
Anyhow this is the pinafore from the Tilly stretch book. I have really overcome my knits phobia now I think. It’s made from a lovely cosy ponte which was a dream to work with. I didn’t make any alterations, size wise it is fine but next time I will make it a bit longer and self line the bodice. The way Tilly has you do it has caused a bit of bulk with about four overlocker seams (although she does not assume use of an overlocker to be fair, but a sewing machine and trimming).
Anyway I love it! It is what it is meant to be, a fun easy weekend morning dress (or midweek if I am on rest days) to have a white hot chocolate at Mangos on the Quay, meeting friends etc. And if I look like a liquorice allsort - well at least I’m sweet!!
