It took two packages of double fold bias tape to bind the thing. Also about five hours of work. I can usually turn out an apron in less than an hour but not this one. The bias tape did make for nice detailing, though.
I bought all the fabric on the bolt and had enough to make Mommy one too.
Then I cut these out:
I have a high school reunion this weekend-dress casual-but of course I want to look classy without anybody knowing how hard I worked to achieve it! I cut out two blouses and a new pair of black capris. The black and white blouse is done, and now that I have thread (a 20-mile drive) I can do the lavender one. The capris will take no time, I can sew this pattern with my eyes closed. Actually the pattern is one I created to make better fitting pants. The black and white top pattern is also my own freezer paper creation. I really only have tomorrow to finish them so wish me luck!
How pretty. The pink and green is gorgeous! I keep saying that I'm going to make an apron, but never get around to it.
ReplyDeleteThat is an adorable apron. I made my daughter one that had bias tape around all the edges and it took me forever! It seemed like it anyway. I would love to see your capri pattern. that is all I wear around here from March until October.
