Yesterday I made my Artisan Apron from a pattern bought at the Festival of Quilts from
Janet Clare www.janetclare.co.uk
This lovely lady was wearing her apron and I loved it and bought the pattern.
I chose linen and cotton, I know linen creases but I love wearing it!
It is years since I have done any dressmaking and I was quite nervous cutting out the pattern and double checked everything!!
This process made me want to make an item of clothing!
It took about 4 hours from beginning to end and I enjoyed every minute.
The back view ( better than the front)
I was tempted to decapitate!!!
A number of people said they liked it at the craft fair and asked where I had bought the pattern so I gave them my blog address!!
I made my apron reversible so the other side is patterned with grey pockets.
This matches my stall which has grey and white cloths and grey and white striped bags.
I intend to wear this apron when I am 'textile working' and will not do any washing, ironing, cooking or housework when I am wearing it.... maybe I will wear it all the time!!!!!
It's a gorgeous apron and you look lovely in it x
ReplyDeleteThank you, it took about 4 hours to make and it is great not to have ties and neck loops.
ReplyDeleteLove the apron, you look great. I want one too!
ReplyDeleteIf we ever meet up you can try it on and I will make you one if you choose the fabric!!
