Pinafore - no longer a bore!!

This pinafore was totally boring when I bought it.  It came with a job lot of vintage clothes that I won on eBay last year.  It looks like something a Granny would wear so of course I had to do something about that.

Here is it before.....

To start with I chopped off the bottom as I wanted it to be much shorter........

Next it was time to bring it in under my arms as it was quite big for me - so I pinned it and then set to work on my trusty old Singer.......

I then added a purple balloon sleeved blouse from my wardrobe (from GAP), some opaque tights and my grey boots.  Voila - good enough to wear anywhere.....
