just like reupholstering, i dont see how hard it can be. you just put some fabric together, put it under the machine and carry on. therefore, i decided to make my sister an apron for christmas. she has dreams of being a domestic diva and thinks that owning an apron will make her a good cook. well atleast she will look cute in her attempts. so first, i found the apron that would serve as my muse (thanks, Anthropologie.com!). the pic is a little blurry but you get the gist.
from here i headed to joann's fabric to find what most closely resembled these colors. a little disappointed with the way the orange fabric looked after i left the flourescent lights of the store but it is what it is. with fabric in hand, i went home and spend a good hour on the computer researching how to sew, how to sew aprons, how to sew ruffles, how to sew a skirt, everything you need to know and so much more about sewing. then, i got to work. here are a few pics of the process:
i legit just made up what i was doing. its obviously not perfect by any means and im sure any experienced sewer could pick out a million things i did wrong but hey, im pretty proud of it! i debated making and selling them but i think the time it took me to make it completely outweighs and money i could sell this for. it is thursday now and i have been working on it every night since sunday for about 1-3 hrs each night. maybe with practice I could whip these puppies up in a hummingbird heartbeat. here is a pic of it basically finished, just need to finish a few more things. hopefully it fits her because i used myself as a base and i have huge knockers.
