I did a bit of weekend sewing Sunday! My first real sewing project actually…that is, the first one following a pattern. Prior to this project, I had sewn 1 1/2 quilts, pillows, and the inside of a couple crochet purses. Essentially, I'd only sewn squares.
After flipping through the pages of this book, 4 years ago…. I found this apron. I thought it was cute, practical, and looked fairly simple. I believe it was fairly simple, but a tad too complicated for me to pull off without a hitch.
I had several problems along the way, and the end result isn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination (the whole gathering principle is way beyond me at the moment). However; it's just an apron, and my first time trying, so I'm actually quite pleased with the result. Considering that before now I had no apron (thinking that I shouldn't buy something that I was planning on making...for 4 years), I'm happy with my new apron. I also have more respect for all of the apron makers out there.
It also matches my kitchen curtain! Which I won't be showing today… Like I said, the gathering principle is way beyond me at the moment.
