I get tired of the little strings getting a ride with me all over the house so I made this apron to cover my front while sewing. Now I need sewing booties and I will be all set .... LOL!

This was also an exercise for me to learn to hand sew all that bias binding without showing a stitch on the front side. Whew ... That was a lot of binding!

I think it came out great ... How about you?

that is adorable!

Wow, lots of stitching there. love the colors and design. Would look good on me in my kitchen.......LOL

That is adorable. Love the pattern.

How cute!

Very pretty. Nice work.

Absolutely adorable...and I love your sense of color!

It's really nice. You did a lovely job and I love the fabrics. And I know what you mean about little threads. What a good solution.

Cute, cute, great idea by the way

I saw them (all the little bits) referred to as quilter's jewellery!

What a beautiful apron!! You did an amazing job!!

Ditter

It's too cute! You did a wonderful job. Will the booties match?

Darling apron, but the threads are how other quilters recognize me in public :)

Cute apron!

Beautiful! Did you have a pattern or make it up yourself?

Pretty! And what a great idea!

Why is it I always seem to be wearing black when I sew?

Too cute and nicely made. Love it!

I love it! Aprons are so cute!

What an adorable apron. Love it.

i have this pattern!! haven't made it yet though....awesome job!

What an adorable Apron! And you used great fabrics. I love it. Great job. Thank You for sharing.

That's cute. Good idea.

Very pretty!

That is SOOOO cute!

This apron is absolutely adorable.

Can you tell us where you got the pattern?

Yes.. I love aprons.. do tell where you got the pattern.

That is so cute. And what a great idea. I hate it when I go out after sewing and notice little threads all over me. Sigh. But I don't hate it enough to stop sewing. :lol:

The fabrics you picked are great and I love vintage-style aprons. I want one!

Thanks Everyone! The pattern is McCall's #3979. I buy lots of patterns when they go on sale at Hancocks fabrics. (They go for a buck during thier sales.) The fabric came from there too although I can't for the life of me remember the name of the fabric line.

I sew lots of clothing too. Mostly for my niece, but I have a lined purple no whale corderoy skirt in the works and a robins egg blue gaberdine pair of slacks.

that is sooooooooooooo cute. i really love it

Darling apron, I however, would use it in the kitchen. The surest way to keep treads off your clothing while sewing is to do it in the nude!! If we are anywhere near the same age, be VERY careful around that hot iron!

Yes, it absolutely came out great! I love the fabrics.

Lovely

So cute, love the style and colors

This is SO cute! But what a lot of work! Worth every stitch tho.

Love it! :-)

I love it.

Nice job!

Too cute! The fabrics are really fun. Where did you get the pattern?

That is a wonderful apron! Will have to look for that McCall's pattern when I go to Hancock's. Thanks for a great tip!
