I saw this gorgeous apron pattern in the latest issue of Mollie Makes (issue 17).
I've been meaning to make an apron for ages - since I made this awesome batman apron for my friend Katie last year.As regular readers will know, I love skulls. I've had this skull fabric for years - and bought metres of the stuff. I thought it would work great with black and white polka dot fabric and I was right!
Unfortunately I thought the pattern (well it was more of a tutorial) was really poor and I abandoned it halfway through and just made the rest of it up as I went along. The inside isn't particularly neat but I absolutely love the way it looks!
I covered some large buttons in a matching material which finishes it off nicely.

If I decide to make another I'd change the bib piece as I think it's too long and too narrow. It was a great project to work on though and now gives me an excuse to do some baking!

























Love it!! Such a fab combo, skulls and baking!
ReplyDeleteFran this is bloody gorgeous! You are so clever, id never be able to do something like this! xxx
ReplyDeleteAwesome pattern! You look super-cute... great job :D
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! I'm using the same pattern but having real problems understanding part of it. Sounds like you had the same problem! Yours looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteYeah it was pretty rubbish! I just went free style. I'd love to see yours when it's finished!
