Essumekko / Pinafore

Kuumeisena sita tekee sitten kaikenlaista..... vaikkei olisi energiaa. Mukelot kun sain nukkumaan viimeisena YHaiti iltana niin istuinko huokaisten sohvalle vahaksi aikaa huilimaan ja rauhottumaan ennen kuin itse kommin vallyjen valiin? En istunut. Ja ei kun kaavapaperia esiin, kangasta lattialle ja sakset suihkimaan. Sen jalkeen vahan ompelukoneen surinaa ja hups.... melkein valmista tuli. Napinlavet jatin suosiolla seuraavalle paivalle niin ettei mene vinoon. Essumekkohan sielta syntyi ja ihan mukava sellainen. Kuumia kesapaivia ajatellen tuon tein. Kaavan sain TAALTA (Smashed Peas and Carrots). Nopea surautettava oli ja ihastuin tekeleeseen kovasti. Tarttee kai varkata toinen vahan toisista vareista. Mutta talla ei siis kiire. Koko oli 6-12 kuukautiselle mutta se on tosi reilu meidan 10kk pulaaja-atleetille. Jos isommalle haluaa tehda lisaa vaan kaavaan pituutta niin hyvin menee. Ja kun pituus jaa pieneksi menee hyvin ihan ylaosanakin (katso yllaolevan blogia, sielta linkit kuviin pinaforesta toppina).
PS: Pikkumalli ei suostunut seisomaan etta olisin saanut kunnon kuvan essusmekosta.

When you have fever you do all kinds of things...... even though you don't have the energy for it. The other night (last night as a single mom) after I got the children to bed did I sit on the sofa to watch tv and relax before going to bed myself? No, I did not. Take the pattern paper out, spread the fabrics on the floor and let the scissors work. After this a bit of sewing machine purring and voila.... almost ready. I did leave the buttonholes for the next day so that I would get the straight instead of trusting my tired eyes. I made a pinafore and I love it. For hot summer days it's perfect. The pattern is from HERE (Smashed Peas and Carrots). It was so fast and easy to make and as I said already I love it. I think I have to do another one with different colours. The size is for 6-12 months old but it's quite generous even for our 10 month old who is going close to the 100 percentile with height and about 7o percentile with weight. If you want to make this for a toddler it's easy to add little length to the pattern. In the blog the pinafore was used also as a top when it got too small to be a dress (there are links to these pictures in the above mentioned blog).
PS: The little model was not cooperating and refused to stand so that I would have gotten a good pic of the pinafore.
