A half apron for Molly to wear over her jeans.
Because this is the closest she will ever get to wearing a skirt.
And later I want to try out my yo-yo maker I got at Superbuzzy. Maybe I'll have a go at making something from here (click on the little pdf box to view the instructions).
Various other free patterns here, and it's worth having a little lookie here too.
Have a great weekend !
See, I avoid that section on superbuzzy because of a potential self control problem. But now I followed those links and I'm imagining everything I can yo-yo-ify. You are such an enabler.
The apron is deliciously cute.

The apron is fab, can we see Molly modelling it please!

love the apron!. there has been a little discussion on prairie mouses's blog about yo-yo's and about the different names used for them, suffolk puffs and cornish puffs were the other terms that came up.

Such a darling thing.

Love the polka dots carried through... hmm, an easy way to make yo yos? Another way to use up that growing stash...

That apron looks lovely. It's inspiring me to think about making one for my daughter's birthday. I'm off to look at my fabric stash.

Everything is just too darned cute! But seriously, how do you go about finding all of this amazing information with kids out of school for the summer? I can hardly blog!
You're just amazing, that's it.

that's beautiful, I love the little bear! My daughter is even more difficult - she wouldn't wear anything made of "girly" fabric, that includes dots, flowers, even the tiniest embroideries. Of course, no girls's clothes like skirts, dresses, blouses - she's soccer-mad, so she favours sportswear...

Loving that apron. I've ordered similar polka dot fabric to make a smock type top for DD. If she sees your s though she'll want flowers and a creature!
