emmeline apron

Ta da!

It was fun and fairly simple to make.  The most tedious part being the bias tape (making it).  I love this bright colorful fabric from Alexander Henry.  I think my favorite color combination right now is this red and aqua.

The contrasting fabric is red and white polka-dot.  Those tiny dots are hard to photograph.  Photo credits go to Emma. I made her take a bazillion and yet we still didn't get very good ones.  I did not hand sew the bias tape on.  I used the machine and if I were to make this apron again (surely I will) I would make that same decision again.   Next time I will use thread that is the same color as the trim.  I was trying to be all artsy fartsy and I used an aqua thread-- it is far too revealing of my lame sewing skills. The reverse side is a little blue dot pattern.  You can see it in yesterday's post (it was the liner in the little clutch I made.)

This apron is pretty cute on, especially flattering in the area that I am, ahem- lacking.  Now its your turn.  Get the pattern.
