Jo's writing apron smock

Jo is supposed to have a writing apron in the play.  This is the item she wears to protect her clothes from ink spills when she is up in the attic writing it is supposed to keep her warm too when she is in the attic writing in the middle of winter.



The description I was given was green satin apron big enough to cover all her clothes with hints of red ribbon.  She is to have a hat too that goes with this apron have yet to make the hat.  The apron is made out of a Christmas table cloth found thrift shopping thus the holly berry motif in the fabric.  I used the same kimono pattern that I used for Mr. March's Dressing gown but no sash this time and I added a zipper to the front of it to make it easy for quick change.  The zipper has two pulls so it can zip open down or up depending which is the best for the actress to  do to accommodate her other outfits and the scene.  Not sure if the hat is red or green yet I know it is supposed to have some sort of reddish bow.  I plan on putting velvet on it too.
