The Wedding Apron
When you are broke you have to improvise. A friend is getting married and I needed (wanted) a gift to give.
I knew the bride cooked so my first thought was making matching aprons for both of them but I wasn't sure her hubby to be would want/appreciate one. I finally decided to look at their gift registry and one of the items requested was a customized apron which had already been purchased for her. She only requested one so that told me one was not needed for hubby to be.
I decided an extra apron was in order and it didn't cost anything extra because everything came from my stash.
What drew me to this apron was the rivets and I had every intention of using rivets. The only problem was I forgot I am broke and I had no rivets nor did I have the tools to insert them. So rivets got nixed. I used buttons and extra buttonholes to make the neck band adjustable instead of the overall buckles. I also added extra length to the waist straps.
Since Sew4Home gives really great instructions I will only post pictures of my construction steps. This was a project from Sew4Home, the embroidery designs came from Bunnycup, and I used Sulky's 30wt Blendable Cotton thread for top stitching.
