SeW FuN!

I decided to be a little crafty and "make" my Mother's Day gifts this year. I saw these cute, trendy aprons in the Mall selling for $49.00 and decided..."I can DO THaT~ and for CHeaPer Too!"...SO I did! I already had an apron pattern and just made some minor adjustments and 

changes to it to get the outcome that I wanted for "My Trendy Aprons". They were really easy, but took more time than I had anticipated, mainly because gathering a ruffle as long as this one, takes time and tons of patience. IF I were to make aprons for a living I would defiantly

 invest in a "ruffling" attachment for my sewing machine. After spending about 2-3 hours on each one (I made 5), I decided that $49.00 wasn't too crazy of a price to charge for an apron like that...after I considered the time it took and the cost of the fabric to make one. I am so glad that my Mom forced me to take sewing classes in High School so that I could learn to sew. Turned out that I really enjoy the "old fashioned hobby". I was really excited that I could sew my own "Trendy Apron" and have it look like I paid $49.00..(Actually mine probably didn't look like the really cool ones in the Mall...but I am going to pretend that they did~). They were alot of fun to make and when things in my life settle down a bit, I am going to make myself one...a little "late Mothers Day Gift" to me!
