This time I have made an apron for myself, which I am very proud of. Aprons are one of those utilitarian items that I love to make for other people, but I can just never bring myself to make for me. So this is definitely an accomplishment.
Pattern: Emmaline apron by Sew Liberated. It's lined! Excuse to use up more of this fabric! Annoying if you want to purchase new fabric for it!
Fabric: Bon Voyage fabric by Timeless Treasures. Pink bikes, pink Paris print, brown dots, and brown birds for trim.
I think this pattern would be flattering on lots of girls with, er, *girls* because of the nice bust gathers goin' on. As I don't have much of a chest, it just conceals the area, which is good. So basically, it's good for both the well- and anti-endowed.
Look, Ma! It's reversible! You can see the wind whipping it out a little bit. The skirt section is nice and wide, so it has great coverage and, again, is suitable for all shapes and sizes.
Yay, reversible topstitched goodness!
I accidentally centered the Eiffel Tower on this, go fig. I didn't have enough fabric to be super picky, but as fate would have it, it worked out. I am not one of those super anal matchy-matchy matchers (too impatient and lazy!), but I do try to line things up when I can.P.S. My bodice is not crooked, but my picture is. Sewing skillz = adequate, photography skillz = suckage w/no patience to learn. C'est la vie!
I still have at least one more project out of this fabric, as well as some scrappy ideas for all the leftover odd bits, so stay tuned!
