The Soaper's Apron

This is my new favorite Apron. It is long and has full coverage for major soap spills. There are no pockets in the front, so if you have a soaping spill, yourpockets will not fill up with hot soap.


I started with a simplicity pattern 5201, and made one. Well I didnt like how it hung, the neck needed revision and the sides layed odd. So I made the straps thicker, Made the neck a high square and took it in 4 inches. Next one I will be making more changes to make the back and sides lay flatter. I can not believe people actually got paid to draft this one. Anyone making this pattern... make it 2 sizes smaller than you think you will need.


The fabric drying next to the apron on the line is going to be more of these designs. I have promised a few girlfriends I would make them one. They like how it covers and that if you have a spill, there are no knots to untie since bows come loose.

Green Spots



My green polka dot bag. I have enough to make one more just like it. I still need to tack down the lining on the bottom. But I love it with the fun lining.

Aprons Aprons Aprons



My Mendhi Apron. When I set out to make an apron, I thought what would I really want in an apron that I would wear. Well it would need lots of pockets. This one has 14... ok a little over kill. But it would also need to reflect my funky bohemian tastes.


I have been sewing a lot lately. I really need to make soap and put the sewing on the back burner.

Potholders



I just made these pot holders... although I do think that the silicone ones are great. But these are prettier. I just love this fabric.
