Sew N Tell- Apron

Did you think I have just been sewing tee shirt bags? Well good, that's what I wanted you to think. But actually I have been sewing a lot of stuff. And the one that I can show you it a snazzy apron. A few weeks ago I was with my friend Kirsten and I mentioned that I was going to a bridal shower for my friend Sammy. Kirsten is the best person ever to give present ideas, and in this case she pulled the cutest apron out of her cabinet and said; "Why don't you make something like this?" There and then a present idea was born, and my fabric freeze ended, but only for this, and it was a gift, so it's okay.

Kirsten's apron was reversible so I decided to take on the task of attempting to make Sammy's reversible too. One rainy Saturday a few weeks ago I was supposed to have class but my teacher got sick which meant I had a whole unexpected day off, I sat myself in front of the sewing machine and figured out how to make a copy of Kirsten's apron.

Side one with three button accent and a coordinating dish towel.

Side two. Luckily Sammy is a fantastic photographer
and she took some other/ better pictures of the apron.
I need to take pointers from Sammy for taking photos; i.e. throwing
your project on the carpet during a rainy day does not a good photo make.


I am really happy with how it turned out, and the good news is I made pattern pieces so I can make another one! The other good news is that Sammy liked it, and I think that's the best news.

And the last bit of good news is that it's Friday!! I lied, the last bit of good news is that Amy the Sew N Tell originator had a baby last night, congrats!
