Remember a while back how I said that I wanted to learn how to sew? Well, armed with my Aunt's trusty Kenmore sewing machine and my Mom and Aunt at my side to walk me through the steps, we set out to sew an apron. Mind you, this was supposed to be a simple, "easy" pattern as the package said. Hahahah! I beg to differ.
First off, if you are learning how to sew, and if you are anything like me (excited, focused, etc), you will need a seam ripper! I. used. mine. all. the. time.
Seriously, just when I thought things were going my way, I realized I wasn't sewing all the way through my hem, or my bias tape was slipping off. (Yes, I pinned and pinned and pinned to no avail).
About 20 hours later, (no joke)(ok, maybe a *slight* exaggeration,) I was finished! I couldn't have done it without my Mom and Aunt. The whole process was fun, only because they were doing it with me.
I can't wait to try to make some other things- I am *sew* excited for my newest hobby!

ReplyDeleteThat is adorable! You did a great job. I love the red trim and rick rack.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome. Way better job on your first sew project than I am doing on mine.

You did an outstanding job for your first try!!!
ReplyDeleteok that didn't come out right - the apron looks outstanding!! the fact that it was your first time is amazing : )
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate. I have been sewing for 6 months and it still takes me 3 times as long to make something as it should. Your apron turned out GREAT! This is a very impressive first project. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat job - I wish I was brave enough to learn to sew. Being excited & focused get in the way though :)
ReplyDeletethis apron is absolutely adorable! great project to start with. What pattern is this? Mccalls? I can't seem to find an apron I like, but I think I saw something like this just yesterday at Hobby Lobby in the Mccalls, or maybe Simplicity pattern book. Lovely!
