Granny's Clothespin Apron

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?

Linking up here:
