::Sewing Month::

November 13, 2008 By Katie

There is no doubt that it is November in Seattle. The rain is here. Roan continually asks me if the sun is going down, and it’s only noon. I was telling Jeffrey yesterday that I finally have November in Seattle figured out. I sew and sew and sew… Oh, and I also drink a lot of tea. Those that know me might think I always do these things. The month of November brings new meaning to sewing…Christmas presents.

So this year it’s reversible aprons for the womenfolk. Hope no family is reading this. Here’s a pick of some of the fabrics. I think the linen will give a nice drape to the lightness of the Alexander Henry fabrics. The Amy Butler’s truthfully aren’t some of my favorites, but I think they will be super cute for aprons. Think the pink will be for myself.

I choose two patterns. Mary Mulari’s Church Ladies’ Apron Pattern for a retro look and a sleeker apron from Lotta Jansdotter’s Simple Sewing Book. I would recommend buying a quarter yard above the yard they suggest per side for the church lady. The second pocket doesn’t fit on her layout. I pillow cased the single pocket rather than spending the time turning under the hem of the curved pockets. Who uses the pockets on aprons anyway? On Lotta’s apron I made the waist straps a bit longer so one could wrap around to tie in front if they wished (the picture in the book shows it this way).

Pictures to come and kids’ aprons.
