I have made a few of these now, and each one is the new favourite, when I have finished it. The York Pinafore from Helens Closet
This one is in floral denim from my local fabric store. I left off the patch pockets, using a inseam pocket from a pair of pants I love. So the print is unbroken, but I have lovely, usefully deep pockets. I predict that I will be living in these this winter.

That's very posh for a pinny. I love the deep pockets. I don't wear a pinny normally but around 1990 I had a cooks apron bought for me by the Christmas Santa at work (brown with white stripes) and lovely deep pockets, which are really useful for sticking cloths in.
If I had that one I reckon I would only have it on at Christmas. Too gorgeous for words.

I love this pattern, i've made 3 of them, each with the patch pockets. I have made both the necklines.
It's one of my favourite makes.
BTW it's a pinafore dress rather than an apron (pinny)

This looks great, I am very tempted it might solve my problem in summer when wearing leggings, if I made this in a light weight fabric would it work or does it need the structure of a heavy fabric.

I have seen them made in linen, and its worked very well.

Very nice @datcat23 . :toast: Highly wearable.
Your version is so much nicer than the samples on the site. Why some of these indie designers use adult women standing pigeon toed in poses like a four year old being coy baffles me. :x Twee just doesn't sell well to the over 40 crowd.
