I am so in love with this skirt, and really, the picture doesn't do it justice! It is soooo cute in person!! The pocket was supposed to have a button on it, but I was too lazy to find my button hole foot for the sewing machine. I think it looks cute just the way it is;) But Abby still wants a button on it... Why do I tell her things?
Up close, because the pictures were taken at night under my horrible yellow cast lights next to my yellow wall... so up close shows the true colors!
So I saw this apron made up in Panguitch and bought some fabric hoping to find the same pattern (because they had sold out of it) I finally found it! It was called "ruffle apron" so I thought to myself, 'oh, ruffles? that will be so easy!' but it wasn't meant to be... it turned out to be pleats... I loathe pleats! but sixty of them later and I was done ( don't worry, I counted!! ) And- I didn't even use them all!! It has you cut a big chunk off at the end. grrr... Maybe I can make something up for my soon-to-be-niece with the ruffle/pleats on the bottom, we will see!
So here it is, the first time I have cussed at my project in a long time. It looked so easy, but proved so hard! Oh well! now that I have done it once the next time will be a breeze!!
Again, up close to see the right colors;)

Love the apron! I would've just tried doing ruffles instead of pleats. They are such a pain!
ReplyDeleteOh! Those are both so beautiful! I love the apron lots and lots! I am going to need an apron now on to feed Olivia since she thinks it is beyond hilarious to spit her food back at me. Awesome, right? Glad that you perservered and got it done because it is amazing!
