I should be sewing down binding, and I'm going to get to it in just a few moments. But first, look! I made my first apron!
This will be for my brother's girlfriend's daughter (can I just call her my niece?), who is 11. I remember her saying something this past year about liking to cook, so I bought her a cookbook, and made her this apron to wear while trying out all her new recipes. I'm trying to get the next generation to embrace aprons the way I do!
I'm proud of:
my first pocket, lined
and decorative stitching along the bottom
Hmmm, the closeups of those features make me think maybe I shouldn't be too proud. So they aren't perfect; I'm proud of myself for trying them!
I could have finished the ends of the ties that go around the waist better, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.
Wait! Did you just hear that? There is some binding calling to me...gotta go!

A lotta love went into that apron Erin and it's just darling.
Did you get that binding done?
Cute!! I made matching aprons for my Grandsons wife and little girl. Fun!!
Perfect fabric for an apron! Great job!
Love the fabric for the apron. I am sure she will love it! I made an apron for a friend for Christmas too.
What a wonderful gift for a beginner cook! Great job!
I love it! I did that a few years ago for a friends daughter.
Love the apron Erin. Congrats! Isn't it nice to have a machine that can do all of those fun stitches?
Love that combination for a cmas gift to a pre-teen. And, love the apron. Great fabric and, hey, it's going to get stained...that's its purpose, so don't sweat how it could be better. If it does its job, it's gonna get worse. Til then, it's perfect. Lane
Beautiful apron... I am sure she will love it and the cookbook
