Last night was a double bridal shower here and I thought it would be nice to make an apron for each bride. I based them on this tutorial but did the waistband and straps double sided so there weren't any raw edges on the inside.
Umm..yea...ignore the awkward arms! I don't know how to pose :-p) |
They turned out great and the red/blue one matches the kitchen stuff her sister made for her. Next time though, I'm just going to head to my local quilt shop when I'm making a gift. Fabricland just doesn't cut it when it comes to modern fabric and I can't say I love the look of them.
In the middle of making these aprons I made a purse for a birthday gift for one of my daughter's friends. One of those "oops, I forgot about that party I guess I have to make something" moments! Oddly enough it's orange and I made it before Alisa posted about her bag! Strange how those things happen sometimes :-)
Pressure works everytime!!lol The aprons are fabulous...I really like the first one.:) And you pose just fine!
ReplyDeleteI like the aprons, Suzanne! And the bag looks red on my screen, not orange at all. Very cute!
ReplyDeleteIt's one of the orange pieces I bought at Hamels :)
Deletethe aprons are a nice style and I have to agree about fabric at fabricland! Plus I hate having to pay for a membership to get stuff that doesn't quite measure up to what I want!
ReplyDeleteI love them. And I know Julie's happy with hers! :)
ReplyDeleteIm so in love with the red bag...!! amazing
