Sunday Sewing

Yesterday I thought I would have a go at making a 60s (?) style garden apron pattern that I bought.

Here it is. I will not be showing a close up as they would not pass inspection as I still have a long way to go on the learning to sew path. However I'm reasonably pleased that it turned out OK for round the house, and I learned a few things along the way. It was quite a good project for an afternoon - took me 4-5 hours all up but if you were a good sewer it would be a lot faster. The thing I really like about this pattern is that the apron sits on the shoulders rather than hanging off the neck. Much more comfortable.

Oh, that is so groovy! I remember my mum wearing a similar 'pinny' in the 70's.
I made kids aprons last year which was really enjoyable, but same as you, they took me so long it was definitely more of a hobby than it was profit-making!
