First off let me say I am glad to be back! Life has been crazy lately & I had fallen back into a creative funk… I haven’t finished much and so I have posted in weeks. Anyways this apron helped me get back into my usual creative swing of things so here you go.
Okay, I was excited to get my pattern in the mail yesterday so I pulled out two of my favorite Micheal Miller fabrics that I have been hoarding forEVER. The pattern is ‘The Emmeline Apron’ by Montessori by Hand and is fully reversible.
Anyways I think it took me 1 1/2 hours to make from start to finish, but that included making my own binding (pattern calls for). The pattern calls for 1 yd of each of the main fabrics & 1 3/4 yd of the coordinating fabric… I only had 1 yd of the brown but it still worked okay, my binding just wasn’t cut on the bias.
All in all I am very please how it turned out…. it looks GREAT on my headless display lady. I did a few things differently… such as the location where I left the hole for turning it. It’s a great pattern, but it doesn’t look as great on me cause I have huge knockers! The coordinating strip under the bust ‘disapears’ which makes it look kinda blah. I will problem modify it a bit to make something a little more flattering for my body type. I also plan on drafting a similar type sun dress as well!
Anyways, what you have been waiting for the pictures!
Oh, this is super cute!!
Glad to see you back!! Really cute apron!!
Very cute! If I had an apron like that I might, big emphasis on might, be motivated to cook more 🙂
The 1st apron is SO beautiful! I wish I could sew 😦
