One-piece Smock
A smock for the preschool based on one that they already had. I used a vintage sheet for the body, seam binding for the edges, and ribbing for the neck and cuffs. I posted a picture of the pattern that I drafted below so you can get an idea of the easy, one-piece construction. I was thinking that it would be even easier to buy a thrifted sweatshirt and cut off the bottom ribbing, some of the back, and add seam binding to the raw edge.
I've been doing some other sewing, but haven't had a lot of time to blog. That's all for now.
P.S. Ignore the weird black thread. Sometimes I revert to my lazy sewing habits and don't change the thread. Sorry, Sara. ;)

People who ALWAYS change out their thread to match are suspect in my book!
Love the smock, black thread and all.
That is a great idea. My kids wear Dad's old tshirts but your smock is much cuter.
I love how retro this looks. Whenever I think of smock I think of this great Calvin and Hobbes strip.

Your so creative. Wonderful idea, black thread and all.
Black thread is good. at least it is all one color. Sometimes I am totally lazy and play "bobbin clean up", and just keep using the almost empty bobbins (all on one project).
You are not the only one who is too lazy to change the thread. Sometimes I'm happy to have changed it to the correct color, and sometimes I feel very good about not changing it. Rebel, I am.
looks like it would certianly keep the mess off!! and so fashionable too!
Not matching! *foams at the mouth*
I love little smocks. And I rarely change my thread...I prefer to call it an 'accent' to the fabric choices!
Love the color combo. Very cute!
