To break in Missy Q, I decided to use her to make aprons for the students in my cooking class that I taught the past two weeks. So last weekend with the help of my sewing buddy Nikki I pulled out one of my sewing for dummies patterns (because my confidence level in garment making is a negative 10!). Even though it was one of those....it's so easy....I will admit that I stopped following the directions early on. Yeah me and direction following are like oil and water...we don't mix well! To simplify my project I choose to make the apron with one pocket instead of two.To help Missy Q out, her big sister, Futie (Futura XL-400) did all the embroidering because I had a wild hair up my butt to personalize each apron! I was glad I did it that way because my husband got a chance to see the benefits of having multiple machines...and I was able to multitaskcraft without having to consantly change settings!
I had my son (who is home from college) cut out the apron so I could begin my "sweat shop" sewing!
I had come upon this sewing novelty fabric at Joanns---of course bought on sale and with my teacher's discount. What you see here is the front pocket with bias tape for the finishing.
So here it is my first completed project on Missy Q!
My colleague, Tashua Woodham whom assisted throughout the entire two weeks at the cooking camp was one of the apron recipients.
