  We consider the sharp interface limit of a coupled Stokes/Allen-Cahn system,
when a parameter $\varepsilon>0$ that is proportional to the thickness of the
diffuse interface tends to zero, in a two dimensional bounded domain. For
sufficiently small times we prove convergence of the solutions of the
Stokes/Allen-Cahn system to solutions of a sharp interface model, where the
interface evolution is given by the mean curvature equation with an additional
convection term coupled to a two-phase Stokes system with an additional
contribution to the stress tensor, which describes the capillary stress. To
this end we construct a suitable approximation of the solution of the
Stokes/Allen-Cahn system, using three levels of the terms in the formally
matched asymptotic calculations, and estimate the difference with the aid of a
suitable refinement of a spectral estimate of the linearized Allen-Cahn
operator. Moreover, a careful treatment of the coupling terms is needed.
