I have been seeing this book on blogs everywhere lately and decided to check it out for myself.
I flipped through it at Barnes and Noble and fell in love with all of the projects...loving that each one took only 1 yard of fabric.
Heck yes!
I bought it and went home, grabbed a cup of coffee and looked though the book page by page.
I decided that Granny's Clothespin Apron would be my first project from this book.
I sometimes hang my son's cloth diapers on the clothesline and hate having to reach down for more pins when I need them.
Enter this great pattern. Yay! Fun and functional...my kind of project!
I cut everything out and was doing just fine until I got to the binding part. I could not figure out what I was doing wrong! I read and re-read the directions and couldn't understand what the heck they were talking about. After about an hour of frustration I decided to just make it work and finished it.
I think it still turned out pretty great:)
I adore owls and this fabric just makes me so very happy:)
Has anyone else made this apron?
Did you have the same problem that I did?

I recognize that fabric! ;) greatest owl fabric EVER! I think that apron turned out fantastic!!! Good job!!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I can't wait to have a clothesline. I lay my diapers out on the ground on my back patio to dry here. Gotta sun dry them, though!
ReplyDeleteBrenna has owl panties, and every time she wears them I tell her I love her panties. She recently asked if I wanted some for my birthday :)
Very cute, Amy. I have a similar apron and just love it. And, yes, that book looks awesome. So many fab sewing books... so little time. I'm with you on the 1 yard concept though. I like yards and 1/2 yards more than fat quarters :)
ReplyDeleteSOOO cute! The owls are darling!
