An apron!

I made an apron.  Yup.  I did.  I took this free tutorial and majorly adapted it to suit me.  Basically, I took her measurements and started from there.  After adapting the measurements to be more my size and deciding that I wanted it lined instead of with a facing, I cut my apron and 2 days later sat down to sew.  Well, it’s finished now and I’m quite pleased with the result:

And the best part – it is completely reversible!  (Can I tell you how thrilled I am about the fact that that worked out?)  Oh, and yes, the contrasting rectangles on both sides are pockets.

Its simple, but suits and I really like it.  I used some fabric Daddy’s grandma had given me and another from a remnant, about 2 yards in all.  Here’s the fabric…its hard to see in the other pictures.

I can’t wait to make another.  I want to make one specifically for sewing with more pockets and maybe even a detachable pin cushion.  I’m always misplacing my scissors or tape measure or something.  Apron pockets might just solve that issue.  Hmmm….have to think on that.   If I do it, I’ll be sure to post!
