the downhill side


in which our plucky heroine continues to make slow but steady progress in the small bits of time between work; eight down and two to go...

Denim pinafore + black floral top = springtime... A denim pinafore is fairly basic, and a wardrobe workhorse. I did add a wide top pocket across the front bodice panel, since the top pocket on the overall pinafore is so very useful. In some ways I prefer the integral pockets to patch pockets, they are a bit more work and fabric intensive, but they hold a lot more, and are slightly less obtrusive.



highlighted clothing is completed...

  2. I really need to remember to bring you my Mongolian shirt and have you duplicate it for me - I'm really looking forward to having multiples of what is probably my favourite garment.

    You do such great work, and this piece looks marvelous.
