up on my own. Sometimes it's nice to know how to do things the "right" way. So any way, I wanted to begin teaching myself to use patterns. I chose this one because it said it was easy. Really, it did turn out to be pretty easy, but the one mistake I made could have been disastrous. This was a reversible apron pattern. Almost every piece said cut two. So, folding the fabric in half so as to have two layers, I pinned all the pieces and cut two. It was a good thing I had enough fabric because I was supposed to cut one of each fabric, not two of each. What I now have are two matching aprons! Well, that's okay! I can handle that kind of mistake. :)
If you'd like to read about all the other apron stitcher's projects, visit Susan's blog. She'll be linking to all of them. I can't wait to see what everyone else has created! This bunch or women are sure to have come up with some outstanding aprons. They're a pretty amazing bunch of gals!
shirt designed by Molly for which I made pattern pieces from butcher wrap and sewed
So cute!
ReplyDeleteYay, I love it! And WHY do you look 16 in these photos, what is the secret LOL?!! The shirt is really cute, tell Molly nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThat's a cute apron! But I have to admit I was staring at Molly's shirt a little more....it's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat? No matching Kerchief for the pooch?? :)
love love love it-Happy Thanksgiving-TO YOU AND YOURS
ReplyDeleteLove it!! And I think you get extra credit for making two. Now you can have a guest apron!
ReplyDeleteJudy
You made that blouse without a storebought pattern? Holy Cow! That's sheer genius!
ReplyDeleteCute apron (and shirt!) I love that your apron is reversible....and the dog posing with you in the one picture :-)
ReplyDeleteAwesome apron!
ReplyDeleteYou definitely should get extra credit for making a REVERSIBLE apron . . . you over-achiever, you!
ReplyDeleteAnd if you can make that pattern for Molly's blouse . . . well, you're far ahead of most seamstresses! You need NEVER buy a pattern again in your life. Wow, I'm super-impressed!
Love the apron! And I would like to place my order for 3 of those shirts, 1 apron, and 2 dog scarves, thank you ;). You are a wonderful seamstress.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tami!
ReplyDeleteErin- You flatterer, you! I don't think I look 16, or even 26, or 36, but thank you for the compliment. It made my day. :)
Molly says, "Thanks."
CR- Thank you. :) The shirt is pretty special because we worked on the project together, and also I think it looks really good on her (just like everything does).
Thank you, Judy. I'm wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving week, too!
Thank you, too, Judy @ fullfreezr. I would love to have any of you lovely blog friends as guests in my kitchen, if you're ever in MN. :)
Anonymous- Thank you. I never could have if my artistic daughter hadn't thought it up and drawn some awesome pictures of what she wanted.
Dr. Momi- Thanks! The dog, Katie, is the best. ;)
Hoosier Girl, thanks bunches. :)
Mama Pea- You're just always so encouraging. I don't know what I ever did without you! I wish you were right about me not needing a pattern, but there are so many things I'd like to do that I can't figure out. And, even though the shirt looks pretty, and has (surprisingly) stayed together so far, there are so many things that I really didn't know how to do "correctly", and if I did I could make things for gifts, and maybe even sell them. :)
Wow, Jane, thank you! I would love to get to be good enough at sewing that I could maybe make a bit of money on it someday.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL YOU BEAUTIFUL AND TALLENTED WOMEN!
I love that your apron is reversible, two for one! Your fabric choices are great! :)
ReplyDeleteThe shirt your daughter and you "dreamed up" came out really cute!
Fabulous! Looks great! :) I think you did a super awesome job. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job...and you can never have too many aprons.
