Gardener's Apron
What have I been up to lately?
Sewing. Seam ripping. Why, you ask? I chose to make a gardener's apron for entry in the upcoming county fair for the
extension group I'm in called "A-ha!" I am not a wonderful seamstress, and I don't have a lot of patience when it comes to new techniques or materials. Bias tape was new, and my patience was thin by late last night.
Bias tape--my conquered enemy
Waistbands--not a friend
Four huge pockets and more bias tape
But, I'm done. It looks pretty good, and I won't embarrass myself by having my name on it now. I used
this pattern (altered somewhat in length and width) from a crafter's apron at Martha Stewart.com along with these sites and/or pictures:
Make It Do
Busty LaRue's Glitz and Glamour
GenevaDesigns on Etsy
GreatGoods on Etsy
All materials were purchased at my local Wal-Mart Supercenter.
1% inspiration + 99% perspiration = one gardener's apron
Now, back to getting the libraries ready for the new school year soon to begin...

It turned out great! Glad my pattern/pictures could help. Bias tape is really tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it it's a quick and easy thing to use. Yours looks great!
Thanks! I think if I ever use it again I will not be intimidated by it...it sure spiffs things up!
