New Asian Pinafore!!

My mother in law Mary is the wonderful seamstress that made all of Mia's cute pinafores last year. This year she adjusted the pattern and added 2 inches to the length just so Mia can grow into it a bit. The others still fit great but the new ones are a bit longer. Anyway, Mary brought me a pinafore she finished a bit ago and I put it on Mia yesterday and I just LOVE it!!!!

As you can tell from the front, it is a green washable Asian broquet (sp?) and it is beautiful!! I went to lunch with Laila and Cass yesterday at California Pizza Kitchen and I swear I had 5 comments on the pinafore. It is really beautiful!!!

Whats up mom!!


This is the back-- totally cute!! You can kind of tell along the edges that it is red and that is because the reverse side of the pinafore is an Asian cherry blossom broquet and it is stunning. I just love it but totally forgot to take a picture of it so I will make sure to when she wears it-- which will be soon I am sure!!


Last night all the adults-- on my family side -- went to Fu Shing in Pasadena for dinner and then back to my parents house for pie. We had just a wonderful time-- WITHOUT KIDS-- YAAA!!! Fu Shing has the best Chinese food and we know it to be so because 1, we have been going there since before we had kids, and two, we are some of the only non-Asian people in the place. Most of the people are Chinese and you always know it is a good place if it is frequented by mostly by Chinese people themselves. It is a warm and friendly place and they always ask how Mia is. We took her there when we first returned from China. They totally know our family and we just could not love that place more.

Today the boys had an early morning soccer game and then we have a birthday party this afternoon so we will be pretty busy.

Have a great rest of the weekend!!!!

  6. Way too cute. Adorable. I have a pinafore for Lily and I love it's versatility. How fortunate you are to have a MIL that can sew!

    Again, I LOVE Mia's haircut. I wanted to take a photo of Mia to the place where I get Lily's hair cut, but left it at home. I thought, how bad could a stylist mess up a bob?

    Oh my. It is not the cute little Mia cut I had hoped for. And sadly, her hair does not grow quickly (like her tiny size 4 feet!) I had her 2 year b-day pictures scheduled and everything. Think I'll wait on that now. I will not forget the photo next time.

  15. Christy,
    Is your MIL taking orders for making these beautiful pinafores? I'd pay big bucks for one. I bought 3 from Lassie girl after seeing Mia's but they don't have the beautiful asian fabric and I don't sew. I need to find my own personal seamstress. You're so lucky to have talent so close by.

  19. I really, really, really love that pinafore. If your MIL sold these... and if the Tongginator was a tad younger... I would purchase several.
