Hello
My name is Christine and I live with my husband on the Canadian Prairies in our mid century home. I started this blog as a venue to explore how to enjoy more of my busy life. I hope to share small discoveries, post things that I make, and celebrate the things I love about my small part of the world.
Many thanks for stopping by!

I love aprons and this is a fresh idea for aprons. Thanks fo sharing it. You look like a small woman...do you think this is a one size fits all, or do you think I might need adjusting somehow for size 18? (hate to admit that, but on the other hand, a year ago I was a size 22...I'm a work in progress)
ReplyDeleteThat a darling apron. I may have to try to make it.
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and I'm fascinated by it! I will have to spend some time looking through it. So far, I'm amazed!
The sock pig---adorable and genius!
Enamel flower pin---pretty and genius!
Painted bird---again, adorable and genius!
This apron---again, pretty and genius!
You're a genius!
Thanks for the props guys! Dee, you raise a very interesting point.
ReplyDeleteWomen larger than a size 8 may want to adjust the waist band length, skirt width and bottom measurement of the top pieces. Start with the waist band length- measure yourself hip to hip, then add 1" to the length (this gives you the normal seam allowance). The skirt is around double the total waist band length, and the top pieces' bottom measurments are 2/3 the waist band length each. Your gathering stitches should bunch the material so that it allows for 1/2" seam on either side of the waist band. Remember it's easier to remove the running stitches, so before running this through a sewing machine (if you have one) you may want to pin together and adjust if needed. Feel free to comment back here if you still run into problems.
You are so generous! Thanks for sharing your talents. I just found this today!
ReplyDeleteJust found you!... love your ideas!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to make your apron for my daughter!... It is so pretty!!
I am following you, now, and want to look over more of your work/ideas!
*Thank you!!*
Blessings!!!

Hey, thank you for the pattern! I came across the pattern doing a google search. I have it all cut out but was hoping you might help with some questions before I start sewing and mess it all up. From your photos, it looks like the waistband is much wider than the 1.5" that I will have once I fold it in half and turn it inside out. Is it really only 1.5" wide? Also, when you attach the waistband to the skirt and top pieces, are the seams exposed on the back? Did you serge those seams prior to gathering the pieces?
ReplyDeleteIf it matters, I am using one-sided fabric.
Thank you so much for sharing your talents.

I was wondering how many yards of fabric I should buy to make the apron. Thanks. I love the design.
ReplyDeleteI love this design. I am having trouble reading your notes only do to size of writing. I have saved the image to a document and it appears a bit larger! I wish it were even larger - print wise. Just adore this and should be making it soon
ReplyDeleteI was excited to find this pattern! Just got the fabric, and will be getting to work on it soon :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!!!
ReplyDeleteI really like the fresh perspective you did on the issue. I will be back soon to check up on new posts! Thank you!
