Sewing meimei pinafores

Her pinafores had been used for 3 years now and were getting faded in color. But mainly because she had grown much taller and wider now, it looks a bit tight even though it could still be worn, maybe for about a year or so.

I had this idea to sew her the pinafores myself for a long time, since
1. it's so freaking expensive to pay for one.
2. the skirt is always not flair enough. I love flair skirts.
3. it ain't seem so difficult, I tell myself it's not something I couldn't do wuddd.....

I bought the cloth for about more than half a year now and my mom had cut the shape in newspaper for me for the longest time. The project had been shelved in the drawer for coming close to a year and finally, I took it out and started working on it.

What do you know, it's really very easy job. And I'm so mighty proud of my handiwork too. I think my mom would be impressed.

See the picture above, the skirt is so stylishly flair, it looked like a party frock!

Now that I get the sewing machine working, I'm thinking of sewing some cloth pads and some CNY new clothes too. See if that ever gets going or not....
