I managed to get a few A-line pinafores done for Christmas. One was for my niece and the other two pinnies were for my own girls. I used
Simplicity pattern 5489, which is about as easy as it gets. Although you do have to do two buttonholes, the bane of my existance!
I basically followed the pattern, just made each dress a little unique. All fabric was from Spotlight - they have a fabulous range at the moment. I hope they all fit now! :)

You could always use snaps instead of buttons haha! The dresses look great, love the owl fabric :)
ReplyDelete@Vik : great idea about the snaps. Think I will give that a go next time. :)
