Just a little sneaky-peek of some of the sewing details from the second "thank-you" apron I have just finished making :
 |
| Fabric-covered buttons |
 |
| The best part about making your own fabric covered buttons is picking out which part of the print to use. |
This latest apron is a bit OTT pink and hopefully it's intended recipient wont mind it's "pinkness". As Danni makes and decorates cakes I wanted to use a cupcake themed fabric for the main body of the apron and then I had the pink Eiffel tower fabric lying around handy at the time....
 |
| Not quite enough main fabric to squeeze out four full length apron ties, so the two neck ties are made up of two fabrics. |
 |
| Top stitched all the edges to reduce post wash ironing :) |
The pattern for this apron is the same OOP McCalls 5643 that I also used here and here.
Will post more pics shortly of the finished product.

Love your fabric choices ~ these aprons will motivate all of us to jump into the kitchen and bake ... J
Thanks Judith :) Pink can be such a love it or hate it colour that sewing an item for someone else out of these fabrics was a little nerve-wracking. Luckily it was very well received - pics to follow soon !
