Wednesday...

Well I finished the work apron last night. It is a variation of the one I began with. I have not yet added the pockets. I had a major allergy thing, due to the wet weather. So the pockets will happen probably this weekend.

I like the way it turned out though I may make the strings longer on the next one. Plus I may decide to line it also. Even though it does not need to be heavy duty for work (I do not deal with real grime there, just dust) I like the fresh look of a lined apron. Yes my table is the worse for wear after using a towel to iron on it. Since my plan is to refinish it anyway I am not too worried about it.

My apron went from this:

I used sewing ribbon for the ties, I liked the contrast of the solid color against the pattern.

The material was $2.50 a yard and I probably have enough left for 2 aprons. The ribbon was .72 cents, and pennies for the thread. If I had been feeling better it would have taken maybe 2 hours, from making the pattern, to final product. Next time I won't make the pattern, because i already have one!
