The year is going by, here is what I made for our October girl in the gift exchange
She asked for an apron and of course I had to use cute fox material.
It works well with this word fabric I’ve had forever. The woodland animal fabric is adorable. So much so that someone on Instagram said she had to have it! Who is the designer. I was a little put off, she never mentioned if she liked the project. (I used this in Shira’s quilt as well). Just I have to have that fabric! Well I have a small scrap left and no more selvedge so I have no clue. For me, fabrics are my color palate – I can’t get into this whole adoration of certain designers. Sure I love the plethora of fabric designs out there, sometimes I’ll see a name I recognize and if the fabric appeals to me, I’ll buy it. But if I get the sense that you are more interested in the fabric than my work – I have a problem.
Cute botton and a great buttonhole! I need to sew more garments now that I have an amazing sewing machine that really does good buttonholes.
The skirt of the apron isn’t lined.
The top is, just gives it a little more body. I also love my serger, I made the bias tape myself and for this kind of project, a serged edge is nice and neat.
I have the special heat resistant batting, so why not make a matching oven glove.
For this I didn’t want the merged edge showing, so I folded under the seam. I also put in my label, I think I forgot to do that on the apron.
Nice gift, and yes I included a few more goodies, but forgot to take a picture.
