I just finished this gardening apron as a birthday present for ME! Dh bought home this funky printed fabric with flower pots and I immediately knew that it was for making this apron. He tried to find an apron to buy for my birthday, but he couldn’t find any of good quality. So he and DD decided to get me fabric to make my own instead. He knew that I really wanted one. Now normally I would design and wait before I actually drafted a pattern, in case I want to change something. Then once the pattern is drafted I wait before I actuallly cut the fabric, again in case I want to change something. Then once the fabric is cut, I wait before I start the construction. No, not in case I want to change something, at this point it is sort of too late for that, unless I want to commit more fabric or hack up what I have already cut. It’s so that I am fresh and rested and not frustrated when I sit down to sew. It’s more relaxing that way, since I’ve gotten all the tedious stuff out of the way and I can sit, listen to my music and create. Ahhhh… SO anyway back to this apron. This time I did not follow protocol I did it all form sketch to construction in 2 days! It turned out great. I am so anxious to show it off that I will go ahead and post the pics and come back to post more details and correct type-O’s later. LOL!
Ok… The best part about this apron to me is that the bib snaps off so that I can wear just the bottom half alone if I want to. It also has a ton of pockets. 16 including one for my cell phone, mp3 player, pencil, seeds, note pad and eight large ones for bulbs or for harvesting a few things from my garden if I don’t want to tote a basket. Also there are 2 loops on the sides to hang garden tools from. Oh yeah, no laughing at the picture with the hammer in it. I just wanted to show the loops in action and I was too lazy to go out to the shed to get my mallet or some other garden tool just for the picture. LOL! I am very happy with the end product!
