These first FOs were pretty simple, quick and painless. Just how I like it. I did get pretty annoyed with the rick rack on the pink one and would swear off rick rack forever if it didn't look so cute. The other great thing about these is that the amount of fabric it takes to make one is barely a yard of the main color and 1/2 a yard for the coordinating color! Woohoo = cheap! I found this material at our Local Sewing Store on the sale rack since there was only a tiny bit of it left. This is also a great thing to use extra material for from clothes made! (I'm one of those that likes to use every last shred of material.) I think next time I'll try one of the more complicated ones that goes across the chest and around the neck since when I cook/clean...that's usually where I get the messiest.
I really wish I had an embroidery machine though...I think the pockets need something. Maybe a big curly initial of the first name of whoever I give them to. I dug through the Mimi box of old timey sewing stuff from my grandmother's house and found some appliqués but they were all pretty corny...apples, daisies, bananas, eyeballs with one winking?? mushrooms? Definitely too 70's for these flirty aprons. I'm sure I'll find something to use them on. My favorite part is the pink apron has long ties that tie into a big pretty bow, but you can't tell from the pics!
