Once I got going, this came together very quickly. Kudos to Amy Butler for creating a pattern even this (slightly) inexperienced seamstress could handle. Her attention to detail is astounding and those who know me know I love attention to detail!
Alas, it was what came before "once I got going" that threatened to do me in. My mom saved the day! That'll learn me to buy new needles for my sewing machine. Who knew a backwards needle could muss things up so! My mom, that's who!
At first, I just had a pocket and after the hour and a half spent trying to figure out why my needle wasn't picking up the bobbin thread, I thought I'd pee myself at this:
and then came this:
I must say though - Amy Butler is most assuredly a skinny girl. Us large-and-in-charge types just might need a little more fabric on an apron.
Maybe I'll give it to my skinny sister for her birthday.
Happy Birthday Robin! (she doesn't read my blog. At least I don't think she does.)
heh heh.

So beautiful...you do nice work!
that came out beautiful!
OUTSTANDING!!! From another large and in charge girl ;)
You never stop to amaze me with your talents. Beautiful!
Wow. Your sewing maching will *let* you put the needle in backwards? I've tried, but the darn thing wouldn't go in. Thank heavens for my little Viking.
I say make another one a size you like, and then you and your sis can have matchy aprons for holiday cook-togethers. ;o) That's a truly fetching apron.
I'm so glad my daughters get to have sisters. I had to wait until my brothers got around to marrying . . . not the way to go.
Have fun sewing!
I love it. You don't see aprons around here like that much anymore.
Miss Melly, did you make your son model that apron? Corrupting the young for your own devious design... I love it! Cami
Ohh...that is SOOO cute, how much would you charge to make me one?
