Fun Fri~ Cobbler's Aprons for VBS Helpers

 

For Vacation Bible School this past summer,
the leader asked if I'd make cobbler's aprons
to help color code the groups.
So when the children were told to go to yellow for their next session,
they looked for the person wearing the apron of that color.
I started to design the apron,
but the leader found over at Sew4Home a pattern 
which she downloaded and presented to me.
So why reinvent the wheel?
I'm thinking of making one for me,
because I appreciate the pockets.

We decided just in case years later 
a guy needed to wear the apron,
they might not want the ruffles.
So I left off ruffles.
Also, you might know from the 
mug organizer I designed, because I didn't like the 
Simplicity pattern using bias tape,
I didn't use bias tape here.
I simple did a double fold along the edges.
Also, notice I used one solid front piece 
instead of a seamed upper section.
Can you tell which one worked with the youngest children?
I think her pockets came in very handy.

Mon Memory 145~ Stuck on Hold

Have you ever had a project
that you just wanted to make for someone
just because?

So that means it has no deadline,
which means when a request or 
a special occasion such as birthday/anniversary
comes up,

this project gets put aside
 and stuck on hold
in my mind.
Hope it doesn't become a memory.
