My first apron



This was the first apron I ever attempted, a child-sized full apron from a modern pattern, which I later gave to Hub's niece. I was in love with this fabric so it was hard to cut into, but a shame to leave it on the shelf.

Aprons are a good start for someone who wants to improve their sewing skills, they are mostly straight lines and the patterns are easy to read, there's a lot of give as far as sizes so you can't really mess it up too badly, and you can use any fabric including recycled or re-purposed, since they usually require small amounts.

After this picture was taken I decided it needed something more, so I added some lime green ribbon trim on the waistband, just to make it pop.
