Lookey what I made.....

I took the day off from teaching and have enjoyed myself immensely. It's cold out. Generally on my days off, I turn my kitchen into a whirlwind of flour- baking bread- mostly, but sometimes coffee cakes, muffins, cookies, etc. Today, however, I turned my attention to the sewing machine- once again. This time, I had all the parts I needed.....the power cord delivered yesterday and material washed, dried, ironed and ready.

This is my first project from my new sewing book. I thought that I would benefit from an apron, and I had some great material left over from a quilt I made for Nate.....and a few extra scraps from here and there. Here's the finished product. Note that you never see my face- there is a reason for this. I just jumped out of the shower before I took these and have my hair up in a towel (still).....and the rest of my head isn't done yet.
Well here- see for yourself. :)
Anyway, the apron turned out pretty good- there are things I will do differently next time. But it'll be fun to play with different materials and pockets.....I'll keep you updated.

Until next time......
