Sewing Spree

In the past week I have suddenly been on a sewing kick.  For some reason it seems like my desire to be crafty comes and goes in spurts.  In any case, inspiration to do some sewing projects hit last week and I went to the closet and dragged out the sewing machine.  I wanted to make some aprons.  You may think I am nuts but I only had one and I use it all the time.  I bake a lot and also like to make meat sauce for spaghetti.  Tomato sauce have a tendency to splatter and stain your clothes and being able to wipe my hands on an apron helps me use fewer dishtowels when I am baking.  I had looked at Target and Walmart for an apron that I could buy but the ones I found were either hideously ugly or so thin that I felt like they were useless.  After searching online I finally found one that looked like it had potential but when I saw the $30 sticker price I thought... yeah right!... $30 for an apron that I could probably make myself?  Then it dawned on me.  I could make one myself!  So I visited Joann's and bought some supplies and set about my projects.  I decided to make two aprons.  I wanted one full length one and a second one that would be one that just went around my waist.  It took me about two days to make each one.  Not because they were particularly difficult, but because I didn't spend all day working on them.  I have to admit that I am pretty happy with the results.  Next time I will probably makes a few adjustments to my pattern but all in all I think they came out well :)  Can't wait to try them out!
