"A" is for Apron

Here is Apron #2. I found the pattern in this book:

"A" is for Apron.

I modified the pattern a little bit by just doing three pleats instead of gathering it at the waist, that's just easier to me. Anyway, If you like to make aprons or just like to sew quick/easy projects this book is ultra fab! You can buy it at JoAnns, Hobby Lobby, and I am pretty sure I bought mine at Barnes and Noble. There are about 22 different patterns and basically how it works is the patterns are in the very back of the book and you just take them to a Kinkos or Office Depot or some place like that and have them englarge the pages to however big it instructs. For this one I took it to our FedEx/Kinkos and had them enlarge the page 400%. It cost me about $7 per page but you can reuse the pattern pieces so it's not too bad. Then you just cut out the pattern and follow the instructions like any other pattern. Bada Bing, Bada Boom...

(BTW Where are my feet? That looks weird. Oh well, I am too lazy to fix it.)

My First Apron

OK SO I SHOULD TOTALLY BE GETTING US READY FOR OUR CRUISE and doing laundry and packing since this week is going to be crazy and we are leaving on WEDNESDAY!!!...But I decided to make an apron instead. Ha! So ever since my mom came to stay wtih us for a few days a few weeks ago and we sewed like crazy I have been obsessed with looking for easy patterns to sew. So yesterday I was online and I found tihs really cute and super easy looking apron pattern. I had some fabric from another project I was working on and I decided that "Hey I could make that." So I started wipping it out at about 11:30 last night and got up this morning and finished it about 10am. It is by no means perfect but I am still learning, so it's fun. Now I just need to figure out how to cook!!
