I thought I would share few pictures of little miss Eloise and the fact that she is still able to wear her cute pinafores from these posts here and here! It’s crazy to think I made them almost a year ago. She was about 10 months old in those posts and now she is 19 months old…whaaat? Where has the time gone?
This is how she smiles when you tell her to ‘say cheese’, isn’t she such a silly little girl? I love her so!!
The free pattern and step-by-step tutorial for making a pinafore of your own is found in this post here and no, I don’t have the diaper cover pattern up yet. It seems that printing the PDF has been so problematic for some people and I just don’t know what to do…not everyone could get access via Scribd or GoogleDocs so I switched it over to Box.net and so far it seems to be doing okay there. I had one reader comment yesterday that when you print it out it automatically has it print out at 111% (?) not sure why but she said if she scaled it back to 100% it printed out just fine, who knows! Anyways, the reason I’m sharing my PDF hosting troubles with you is that that is the reason why I haven’t put up the diaper cover pattern. My inbox just can’t take even more emails regarding help as to why things aren’t lining up or that they can’t access the file, sorry! If all goes well with the pattern at Box.net I will upload the diaper cover for everyone real soon, pinky swear.
Anyways….back to the pinafore! You can see here that even if you make the 6-12 months size it will still fit your little lady as a cute top well into the 2 year age range. So you might not need to scale it up in size for those of you who have been wondering about enlarging the pattern. Mind you, Eloise is pretty average in height and weight!
Ugh! I can’t believe she won’t be the baby of the family anymore…she is moving on up to big sisterhood in less than 4 months! It always seems a bit unreal to me that the baby of the family won’t be the baby when the next little one comes along. I guess she really is a big girl though, she can do so many things…sigh.
And for those of you wondering…here is a gratuitous belly shot at 23 weeks! Am I really halfway done with this pregnancy? Scary! And even scarier that this belly will probably double in size by the end too, eek!
Hope you have a great leap day, ooooh only once every 4 years!
Thanks for stopping by 🙂
XOXO,
So cute you are!!
Thanks hun!
Wow! she is the female version of your son, do you get that lot? What similarities 🙂 The colors are cute and layering tops is the bestest thing.
YES!! We totally think Ellie and Noah are super similar looking…we now wonder if Penny and the new babe are going to look alike too…1st and 3rd…2nd and 4th!
Adorable. Her uggs.

I know, I love those little baby Uggs!
You’re adorable and I love the pinafore as a top! 🙂
Aww, thank you Emily!
Hi Maggie- I copied your pinafore top yesterday- its absolutely gorgeous- I will send a pic soon, but find its rather big … should I have altered the printing size of the pattern? Will try it on my 2 year old … and will let you know. I love it!!!
It might seem a bit big due to the crossover/swing style back..looking forward to your picture!!
This is super adorable! Wouldn’t it be cute in that Sarah Jane fabric you have in your shop. I actually like it as a top much better than a dress.
OMG!! Yes, that would be super adorable…must make this weekend!!!!
Thank you SO much for the pattern & tutorial! I have a 2 month old daughter that will look absolutely adorable in this. I stayed up way past my bedtime last night & made 2 of these, obsessed!!
Keri
You look great! And your daughter is adorable!!
I found this pattern and just fell in love!! I bought my fabric weeks ago but just got around to printing off the pattern. I can’t wait to put the sewing machine to it & create this cuteness!
I made this pattern over 40 years ago for my niece. Now I have a 19 month old granddaughter and no longer have the pattern. Can’t buy it anymore either. So, thank you sew very much! I can’t wait to get started!
Thank you for the pattern for this. Am going to make it for my daughter
I bookmarked this ages ago when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter. I just made it yesterday and I can’t wait for her to wear it this summer! So cute! I know I’ll be making more of these. Now, if only I can figure out how to size it up to make for my nieces, too!
Thank you for this gorgeous pattern! It was so quick and easy to make and turned out beautifully. I painted bee wings on the back panels and my toddler loves it and proclaims to everyone that she is a bee 🙂 I’ll definitely be making some more pinafores.
hi, may i know where can i get the pattern? it’s so pretty that i would like to make one for my little girl…
You can find the tutorial and pattern here: https://smashedpeasandcarrots.com/little-girls-crossover-pinafore-pattern-and-tutorial/
Hello Maggie! … I’ve combed the web to find this pattern and found you! I could definitely tell this would easily transfer for an older child with it’s simple lines. So i will be making identical ones for my two granddaughters ages 9 mos and 14 mos without a hitch! However! I would luv to have the diaper cover as well even in PDF format (which seems to be the only thing ever used on the majority of blogs/websites :-\ that i’ve come across ) … I’m planning on making them ruffled with eyelet lace. Please let me know! And thank you for offering this to the multitudes like me!
Hi Julia!
I don’t have the PDF uploaded to my site yet! I am so sorry! I am sure a quick google search or etsy search will bring you to loads of great patterns though! Happy sewing!
thanks for this lovely pattern. i made it for my niece who is expecting in July– found a diaper cover and the 2 together are super sweet. best, Janet
