A is for Apron - Crafting Through the Alphabet

This project very nearly brought me to an emotional breakdown. I was trying to get it done in the prescribed week but I chose a slightly more complicated apron than was strictly necessary.

(Oh, introduction to me: I do that A LOT)

So, what was supposed to be a 1 week project turned into a 2-3 week project. In the end, I made a super cute apron so, in the end, it really didn't matter how long it took.

I'm going to simply paste my posts from Kat's page where applicable.




A is for... Apron





Supplies:
Fabric
Ribbon
Eyelet Lace Trim
Pattern




I pretty much followed the instructions of the pattern except in two instances: 
  • because the edging was pre-gathered, I didn't gather it (if you buy edging for the ruffle, a yard will do; whereas if you buy ungathered edging or use fabric for the edging, you'll need about two yards) 
  • (This my moms idea) Instead of attaching the straps to the waist band, we sewed the straps with loops at the end and then we pulled the tie ends through the loop. We did that to make the straps adjustable and, potentially, tighter.
