This was last Saturday’s sewing.  New Look 6929 for Clare, mostly view F.

Both fine wale corduroys are from Spotlight, although the print has been in my stash for some time. Rather than my usual invisible zipper, I did a lapped zipper in the back as recommended by the pattern. They say that change is as good as a holiday (I’m not so sure – I’d like a holiday).

One of the great thing about pinafore dresses is the ability to wear them almost year round. This is great with a long-sleeved top and leggings or stockings, but it will also work with less or nothing underneath as the weather warms up. I altered the pattern slightly by putting the neck binding on the outside rather than turning it to the inside. Clare preferred it that way – are you surprised?
