This weekend, I made a smock for my little girl to wear when she's big enough to finger paint. The base is a pre-printed cotton panel and I added some iron-on vinyl. The vinyl gives it a lot of extra shaping, it's really easy to work with, and it behaved fairly nicely with my machine -- which makes me want to laminate everything with vinyl. Sewing the patch pockets on to the front did not go very nicely, and I don't think I'd do that again -- it's not worth the effort, if it's even possible, to get a stretchy cotton to behave on a slippery/non-stretch material. It's awfully cute, although that's mostly by virtue of the model :). I'm happy with it.
