Happy birthday! Great way to get around the no clothes edict! The apron is still on my list of projects to make and you’ve made a lovely one! (are you going to join the LTTS challenge Flickr pool? http://www.flickr.com/groups/2334038@N24/)
Somehow we missed this….but we’d love to join the fun! We’ll definitely add it in the upcoming days… Thanks for letting us know about it!
I love the fabric – do you remember the source?
Absolutely!! We should have included that in our post. It was Textile Fabrics, out of Nashville, TN. {textilefabricstore.com}. I believe it was a cotton laminate.
Hooray for Birthdays!
Did you approach sewing oilcloth (is that what is is?) differently than regular fabric?
I think it was a cotton laminate…instead of oilcloth. Not 100% on that, but it is less shiny than what we think oilcloth would be like. We didn’t approach it differently, although we couldn’t mark a thing on it….due to the wipe-off ability of the fabric.
I love that fabric and smock! Great idea!
Cuuute! Love the in-action photos. =)
My girls could definitely use some experimenting aprons too… I don’t like to think about how many shirts they have ruined already. =/
They grow up so fast! Love how the smock turned out and that she loved it too.
Happy Birthday, dear little one! Turning 3 is a big deal, after all “3 is a magic number”. 😉 Love the apron…perfect for messy experiments and cooking!
My Bella really needs a smock like that . How difficult was it to work with the cotton laminate. You girls did a beautiful job. It does not look handmade.
I was pleasantly surprised at how easily it came together! Most of the long seams were sewn wrong sides together and then covered with bias which really simplified things. Go for it!
This is an adorable post! Glad she decided it was a Yes! And that she can jump in it
Its lovely and so is she!
[…] a month ago, we made EA an “experiment” smock for her birthday – circumventing the ‘no clothes’ statement she made in regards […]
