Pinny's (AKA cute little half-aprons)


I'll confess - I'm not usually a pinny kind of a girl. I'm not particularly domestic. I don't bake or cook well. And, I don't usually do cute and sweet.

But, when my good friend Debbie over at Granny McNab's introduced me to this sweet little pinny pattern from her Mum,  I couldn't resist. Pinny's may not be put to good use in my kitchen, but I have a couple of friends who would love them.

So, I headed over to Fabricville with Mrs. Lee's pattern in hand and had a great time picking out fabrics.




For my friend, Rebecca, a funky combination of a bright green Nordic-inspired print with a yellow polka dot trim.




For my friend, Dawn, a pretty combination of small print roses with a fun turquoise polka dot trim.






Now part of me is tempted to couple a fun zebra print fabric with a hot pink trim for a wild pinny of my own! We'll see.....
