The Kitty Pinafore
So remember about 1.5 years ago when I released the FREE Sydney Pinafore? It is still one of my go-to patterns, but of course, I will need to upsize it at some point… I really hope soon! My daughter Ainsley has been OBSESSED with kitty cats for about 4 years now and now that she is turning 5 soon, I can’t help but indulge her. I know this phase will end soon (I hope? ha) Remember this POST? or This post? Oh wait, or this POST?? Okay, so apparently she is kitty obsessed.
I took the Sydney Pinafore and hand embroidered a kitty face on the front.
Instead of a dress length, I decided to crop it make it a top length. She has too many dress and let’s be frank, dresses aren’t super practical for school. This length looks SO cute with leggings.
I free hand sketched a nose, whiskers, and mouth and then hand embroidered it.

The nose is a button and the eyes are felt.
I added the ears. Use my Dino Hoodie for a tutorial on that!
The adorable gray houndstooth was sent to me by Michael Miller Fabrics. Love it!
