Back in July we went to some
garage sales in a friend's
neighborhood.
I found these tea towels at my
friend's sale. Not really knowing
what I wanted to do with them, I
brought them home. Put them in
my sewing room and left them.
Well in my wanderings I decided
to make another tea towel apron.
Some of you will remember that I
made a set of these for a bridal
shower at school a couple of years
ago.
I ironed one of the aprons and then
using Heat Bond, ironed the ribbon
I found in my stash on the apron.
I wanted a pocket on this apron
so using part of the other tea
towel I figured and measured
for the pocket. Since the fabric
is striped, I wanted the pocket
stripes to go vertical as opposed
to horizontal.
I folded the raw edges under before
sewing the pocket onto the apron.
The side edges were already sewn.
After I sewed the pocket on I sewed
a line down the middle of the pocket
sew it was two pockets instead of
one big one.
Voila! Here is the completed apron.
Here I am modeling my apron
for you. I think it is very cute and
I like the way the pocket turned out
too.
Tea towels are very inexpensive and
these are so easy to make. If you
need a quick gift this is it!!!!
~Keep on Dreaming~
Wow, what a neat idea!
ReplyDeleteVery cute!
ReplyDeleteSo is the ribbon what makes the ties for the back of the apron?
Thanks for sharing this...I can't wait to try and make one.
Adorable! You should make one for a giveaway! *hint hint*
ReplyDeleteYou are talented :) I bought a sewing machine two years ago. Determined to learn how to use it. It is still in the box :( Wish I lived close to you, I would take lessons!
Is the reunion this Sat?
xo, misha
That is a great idea. I always see pretty tea towels and now I'll have something to do with them.
ReplyDeleteCute as a button, sweetie. Never saw one like this before.
