they were the best of aprons, they were the worst of aprons

20 May

I went on a little apron binge.  I think I am finally friends with my sewing machine too.  I even mastered button holes which is great because up until now, I have avoided any pattern that required them. 

This is one of my favorites.  It’s a reverible apron with extra long ties so you can tie it in the front or the back.

Then I made the most hideous apron ever to grace the earth.  It looked so cute on the model, but I look like I’m overdue for a trip the delivery room.  When I modeled the reversible one for the spouse I got a vavavoom, with this one, he avoided eye contact.  I don’t blame him.  I can’t look myself in the eye when I’m wearing it either. 

All jokes aside, I learned a lot about working with biased tape, so it wasn’t a total loss.

    I love your aprons! Did you make up the pattern or did you purchase it? I love to sew and I would love to make one!
