elizabeth_mnBeen working on a new apron.
The fabric is Alexander Henry's "willow wren." Honestly, I fell in love with the fabric at Treadle and stood there looking at it for a while trying to figure out what I could make with it. Novelty prints which are a bit too cute for clothes make perfect aprons!
But when I got it home, it seemed way too dark and autumnal for a Spring project. So I threw in some green bias and piping to freshen it up a bit. I'll also add some decorative buttons.
I'm making it similar to my pear apron and dot apron , but with a different strap configuration. I hate halter necks - it feels like they are dragging me down - and the shoulder straps on my pear apron sometimes just slide off. I made another apron a while ago that has a more complicated cross-over back with loops at the waist, but I want something that is simpler to put on.
I want to finish this up tomorrow when I'll have some more sewing time.
