Apron Finished

So, as follow up to the post about Anthropologie Aprons, here is the apron I sewed this weekend.

First I looked on the web at some patterns, then I made my own pattern out of wrapping paper based on the fabric and the way I wanted it to look. I taped the pattern together and tried on the paper version to make sure that I liked it. Then I cut the apron out and sewed it up accordingly.

I like it. Really, the pictures don’t do it justice.

Since I already had the fabric, all I had to buy was some thread. The total cost of this apron was $.95.

Phew! Now I can relax- You got your apron! LOL Nice Job BTW! I remember making aprons in home ec class in the 9th grade! Of course I had a much more manly pattern to my fabric!

Beautiful! Of course, good job on trying it out in paper beforehand. I remember a home ec project of shorts that went badly wrong because I didn’t prepare enough beforehand…;-)

Yeah you know what they say, measure twice, cut once.
