If you have been following my blog you may of looked at my “Stitchsharing” guides for both a Mini Pinny and the Maid’s Apron (part of my Magenta’s Rocky Horror Fancy dress costume). Both patterns can be easily adapted to give you various looks.
Take a look!
Here’s my Mini Pinny in a different fabric:
A bigger version of The Maids Apron with a frilly edge:
You can make the frill by hand, sewing machine or on an overlocker.
Add a trapesium shaped bib, pocket and some applique for a Full Pinny with a Super Hero influence:
Go even further and add a frill to the sides of the Bib:
Or try a different bib shape like this heart:
You could use a combination of fabrics to make the ties:
If you keep your neck ties long they are easy to adjust and can either be tied in a bow around your neck or tied with your waist band for a different look:
What other ideas do you have for making your pinny / apron truly unique?
(Psst….incase you are wondering, the Pinny’s are some of my craft fair makes!)


















Love these, and so easy to make
They all look great. Do they take you a long time?
The full Pinnys each took about an hour to make and the mini Pinnys a little less as I needed to think about the designs as i wanted to make each one unique. So pleased you like them. X
Wow, that’s quick. I think it might take me a bit longer! But probably not as long as I would have thought which is good. Thanks
Love the green and pink, it looks pretty and retro.
Thank you. Was thinking of giving each Pinny a name, what would you call her?
I really like the Batman apron. All of them look great but I’d be worried to wear them as I’d make a mess of them.
They were as much fun to make as wear! Machine washable! Was thinking of even wearing one out as part of my next fancy dress costume! X
Loving the super hero inspired ones. Coming from a house of boys I am obviously influenced!!
Thank you. x
