My Apronalong Apron

 

Today is the day for the big apronalong reveal post.  I didn't have the pattern that was being used in the sewalong and had a tutorial in mind that I had wanted to make for ages so when Karen said you could make any apron you like I knew what I would be doing.

I used this tutorial and the left over fabric from Imogen's nursery so this apron cost me a big fat $0!  The tutorial was really easy to follow and I managed to whip this up in just a couple of hours.  Fast makes are a god send when you are trying to get things made during nap times.

I think that this apron will be more for show then for actually keeping my clothes clean.  I don't think it is actually that practical with all the ruffly fluffiness.

I had a lot of fun joining in on this sewalong.  It has renewed my love for aprons and I think I need to make a few more to add to my collection.  This is the second sewalong of Karen's that I have taken part in and I hope she does some more because they are a great source of motivation for me.  If you would like to check out some more of the aprons that have been made hop on over to the reveal post and check the comments.

The Apronalong

Do you remember a little while ago when I took party in the Pyjama Party run by the lovely Karen over at Did You Make That?  Well now she is running another sewalong all about aprons.  An Apronalong!!!

If you want to take party pop over to this post to sign up.  Karen is basing the sewalong off Butterick 4087 but you can make any apron you like.  She has even shared some links to some free tutorials online.

My plan is to make a ruffle apron using this tutorial and some stash fabrics.  I want to get a start on it now because god knows when bubs comes along there may not be a lot of time to sew it up.  We are only two posts into the sewalong so there is still plenty of time to join in.  If you decide to join in as well let me know so I can pop over and check out your aprons.
