denim + Pam Kitty apron 🌹
Today I finished this cute apron, a commission for a lady that loves gardening. I was given a couple of pairs of jeans to use and I decided to combine it with some gorgeous Pam Kitty Garden fabric.
I appliquéd her name to the front of the pocket using a simple zig zag stitch. Since the apron is going to be used in the garden it seemed a good idea to line the pocket with the same waterproof canvas I used for my Geeky Flying Geese Bag. To line both sides, I constructed the main panel of the apron like patchwork, I put the canvas in the centre and surrounded it with denim.
The apron is backed in the same fabric as the appliqué letters. I sewed the right sides together leaving a gap, turned it through and stitched around the outside, as well as stitching around the pocket so the lining wouldn't be baggy!
Originally I was going to use denim for the straps but it would have been a little too 'utility' and decided instead to use the same as the binding fabric.
It's nice to have that seam showing from the original jeans and I stitched vertical lines on the pocket to create three separate sections in the pocket (before sewing the lining on!).
I hope the recipient likes it! I certainly enjoyed making it.
This is a check off my FAL list ✔
Now I've got a zillion things to sew before Christmas and very little time to do it so I better get back to sewing!
I hope everyone's week is off to a good start. Anyone else panic sewing?!
it's my birthday
Today is my birthday. I've had a lovely relaxing day and even managed a little sewing, which I'll show you later in the week. For now I'll share some lovely fabric goodies.
Recently I won a couple of giveaways from the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway day. First up this gorgeous bundle of goodies from rosa e chocolat - such pretty fabrics, beautiful yarn and the sweetest little bag - thank you!
Then this super snuggly bundle of Puttin' on the Ritz from Sew Adorable Fabrics - a shop packed with gorgeous fabrics! Thank you Hannah!
Then yesterday a gift from my fabulous sister arrived and she had just ordered it on Friday. The divine Green Tea and Sweet Beans pattern book by Jen Kingwell and some lovely Pam Kitty Picnic from The Running Chicken - I would definitely recommend this shop! I have the bestest sister ever xxx
After all the birthday excitement the little one fell asleep on me late this afternoon. That doesn't happen as often now she's nearly one (she usually naps in her bed) and it was just precious.
Off to enjoy a takeaway curry and watch Her with hubbie - a blissful end to a great day!
