Back to Sewing

Still not feeling like tackling large projects, but taking baby steps to get back into a sewing mood.

I like coverups when cooking, but dislike feeling constricted by ties, so I had intended to get an apron pattern that I could just slip into (there most likely is a specific name for that style, but it's escaping me). Never got around to it, and then -- well, you know what happened next.

Fortunately the folks at Tessuti Fabrics are offering a free downloadable pattern for just what I wanted. Having difficulty linking to the pattern itself, so just click on the 'patterns' tab and take a look at what they offer -- including the freebies.

The fabric used appears to be a linen blend. It was a piece in a free bundle from Fabric Mart many moons ago, so it's just a guess as to what it is, but it was here and available, so there you go.  The pattern didn't take too much paper (about 25 sheets) and was reasonably easy to glue together (a chore which I absolutely hate!). I didn't pay too much attention to the directions until I got to the bib facing -- pay attention there if you want the nice, clean finish shown.

So, nothing earth-shattering, but a needed accessory and a small push towards getting back in the sewing groove.  I'll take it!
