Baby needed a new pinafore this year. I used Elizabeth Stewart Clark's FREE
1-2-3 Pinafore insturctions. I used a full strip of 45" fabric. I was so good to line up my plaid at the side seams, then forgot to on the pockets!! Now that's going to bug me since I could have actually done a very good job.
Baby was asleep when I needed to measure the neckline, so I guessed WAY too big. Rather than taking the neckline all out, I fixed it by using a long needle with a large eye (my needle isn't very blunt, but a blunt needle would be good), secured a string at one end of the neck binding (on the inside) by making a few loops over each other, ran the string through the neck binding, pulled a little to scrunch the fabric (like gathering), and secured at the other end with a few more loops to tighten it up.
This project took around 2 hours.

Adorable photos. Don't worry about the plaid. Most people don't even notice stuff like that unless you point it out.
