Aprons!

Well, perhaps just "apron" is more accurate! Last weekend I broke out my much neglected sewing machine and threw together a new apron. Now, if you've ever been to my house, you know that I positively live in my aprons. And I only have a few of them, which means I wash them ALL THE TIME. Well, my favorite apron literally shredded to pieces on me, so I decided to take a stab at making one myself.

Here is what I came up with. And I mostly patterned it after the one that shredded to pieces.

I made a loop of fabric to tie the neck strap on, because I don't like having a big knot at the back of my neck. The knot doesn't lay as flat as I would like, though I do like the functionality of the loop.

And I LOVE the fabric. Picking the fabric out was the best part of the project!

Lucy is begging me to make her one. And I definitely need to make myself several more, though I will probably keep modifying my pattern until I get one that is just right for me. Now to pick the fabric...definitely something with pink this time so I can make Lucy a matching one that she will be pleased with!
