elizabeth_mnA new apron!
My pear apron is pretty much shot. The straps are frayed, the color is quite faded, and there are a zillion little micro-holes everywhere. I’ll probably keep it around as a wash day apron for a while, but it’s good to know I now have a backup.
I made the back closure similar to my bird apron, but with functioning buttons instead of snaps. The crossover back is the best way I’ve found to keep the straps up without a neck loop, which I can’t stand to wear. I may sew another set of buttons to give it some adjustability.
I lined the bib because I couldn’t get a smooth enough hem. The skirt is unlined. The blue contrast is cotton sateen. Both fabrics came from Treadle.
Of course, F wanted to try it on!
She wandered around the house like that for about half an hour, even though it was tripping her a bit.
