Making Aprons
Despite clearing out and giving away most of my fabric stash, I did manage to keep a few choice pieces. Since I signed up for the apron swap I thought I should actually try to make an apron or two first. Get some practise in and see what mistakes I am making.
So I have enough material set aside for 2 small half aprons and 1 full apron. I am using very simple patterns to begin with. For the half apron I am using this simple pattern that I found at The Longest Year. It is a reversible half apron that seems to be fairly simple to make. If anyone else has used this pattern I would love to see what you did with it.
For the full apron I used this very simple pattern found at Jcaroline Creative. I am loving many of the fabrics I also found there, and wish I had the money to order more. Oh! That’s no good for my decluttering resolution! The entire Chocolate Lollipop collection by Anna Maria Horner is calling my name.
To distract myself from the urge to splurge I thought I would check out some fun aprons that other people have. So I spent some time drooling over the aprons for sale at Etsy. At least I know I can resist buying one that is already made, I just can’t resist buying the fabric to make on myself. I also had to spend time on flickr looking at all the great aprons.
