Linny’s Pinafore Pattern by Mommy’s Apron Strings
Making this little summer pinafore for 2 yo granddaughter, Vivian Rose, was such fun. I “tested” Linny’s Pinafore by Mommy’s Apron Strings and loved the results.
The star at the base of the placket was machine embroidered. It looks like a happy coincidence of fabric placement. The novelty buttons are shells.
