Tilly and the Button's Cleo Pinafore / Dungaree Dress

Wednesday, May 26, 2021

 

This is Tilly and the Buttons Cleo pinafore/dungaree dress. I really wanted this to be very simple and not attention seeking, so I chose this stretch midnight cotton twill fabric from Mood Fabrics.  The website says midnight navy, but it's very dark so it looks black.

It's very comfy, and it was really easy to make-- except the top stitching part.  I really have to practice top stitching and go slowly.  Thank goodness I did it in matching black thread, so you can't see it.  😆

I used rainbow thread for my overlocker, so you can see some happy colors inside, but outside is very simple.  Only thing I changed-- I made the straps tiny bit thicker so that it would fit the buckle properly.
