Pinny for charity

Gypsy recently put out the call to sewing bloggers to make a reversible pinafore for Dago Dala Hera Orphanage in Kenya.  I sewed one up when I was away at Sewjourn.

The pinny collection is being coordinated by Spotlight in Bayswater. The fabrics I used for the pinny I made were originally from Spotlight -nice karma!

I used a simple buttoned-shoulder top pattern that had been languishing in my stash. It was simple to reversify (oh look a new word) – I just made two dresses, eliminated facings, and bagged the two together through the hemline. Easy peasy! There’s still time to make one if you’re interested and able – details are here.
