Anyway, this idea was floating around in my head for a few weeks since a recent (weekly Friday night) Family Movie Night. We watched the newer version of A Little Princess. There was a cute little servant girl who had to live in the attic and wore the sweetest apron. I kept thinking I needed to make one for Spenser.

Anyway, I used red bias tape around the arm and neck holes. And made a little pocket for the front, trimmed in bias tape. On the back, there are two buttons at the top for closure. That's it. The rest is open in the back. Pretty simple. And servant-esque.
(Spenser did request another pocket because, "I loooooove pockets.")

SWEET!
Did you make the pattern up yourself (clever lady!)?
Good job!
I also share Spensers love of pockets. I shove things in my pockets all the time...it's great until I forget to empty them and a green crayon goes through the dryer....
Great work!
I am with you, I don't think I have sewn in weeks. Sad! Its kind of like exercising for me, when I get out of the habit, its hard to start up again.
