The Pattern With Button Choices
For my Christmas craft I decided to make a few aprons. I started with a pattern which evolved with each apron. Revisions were made to the length and pocket placement and yoke design.
The first attempt was made exactly like the pattern. Given to Keith for his family.
The second attempt was longer but the pocket is still at the bottom. Given to Keith for his family.
The third attempt was even longer and the pocket was moved up from the bottom. This one was given to my friend Eirin as a Christmas gift for driving me to a holiday party.
The fourth and final (?) attempt was longer and the yoke was redesigned. I may have over shot the length on this one. Given to Keith for his family.
New Pattern, New Look
First attempt. I like the swinginess of this apron. Given to Sally.
I made this one narrower. I think I overshot the pocket size. Gave it to Sonna.
Back to the original one. Modeled by Sally. Made for Gladys.
Another like the third attempt. Animals doing yoga! Given to Ann.
Another using the second swingy pattern. Red and white stripe is the inside. Given to Hannah.
Another like the third attempt. Given to Ann’s sister Kate.
The last 2 for the year. Made for my cousin Kristi and her daughter Tricia. I wanted to use these novelty fabrics for Kristi. I once noticed a Periodic Table on the wall in a photograph of her grandson Cameron. Kristi replied that she didn’t do well in science when she was in school and felt like she missed out. So, she is surrounding Cameron with science related items to inspire him to do well in that subject. I think Kristi is a scientist in her soul, even if she didn’t score well in the classes. These aprons were made the length of the 3rd attempt, but a bit wider for better coverage.
