    susan1021 is one step at a time

    i started on this 2 weeks ago

    Finished the top half, complete with neck strap! Used an old corduroy printed shirt and it’s very 50s. Love it so far, and can’t wait to finish it.

    Been held back 7 months ago

    Simply because I much prefer using a sewing machine, and no matter how neat and small my stitches, I still have to stitch everything twice (stitching once one way, then stitching back, in the gaps of the last stitches, so it appears you have one continuous line of stitches). Alternatively, I could do backstitch, which is slightly stronger. Argh, I just want a sewing machine!

    I've cut out all the pieces 10 months ago

    And I’ve stitched the two main pieces together but, as I recently found out the mini sewing machine I bought is a piece of crap, I am going to have to stitch it all by hand to begin with. Luckily, my hand stitches are quite small and neat (even if I do say so myself), but it’ll still take a while. I can’t afford a new proper sized, good machine yet. The cheapest I could get here is still over £100, and I can’t justify spending that much on a sewing machine yet. It’ll just have to wait.

    I'm starting this week 10 months ago

    Erik will be back at school, whilst I have another week to wait, so I am going to get started with this goal. I have a mini sewing machine, but it’s not as reliable as a proper one, so I will hand stitch everything first. I can’t wait until I can have a real sewing machine again!

    I have a really cool pattern for it too! 10 months ago

    I’ve never owned any kind of pattern before, but now I have an apron one, and one for a nice sling-type handbag. I am planning on making some aprons for people I know, and I hope that they come out okay, I was surprised to find I actually understood what to do with the patterns! :)

    Cute aprons 16 months ago

    All the aprons I see out there are pretty boring! I’ve been working on designing and making my own cute fifties-flirty apron …. it has ribbon at the neck, and 3 different coordinating fabrics for the background, pockets, and waist, respectively. I’ve cut it out, I just need to finish it! Someday I’d like to sell cute aprons… but I need to practice on my own first!

    I'm actually doing it! 17 months ago

    I got a sewing machine for my birthday, and I already started my apron.. it’s purple and awesome! haha. I’ll post pictures when it’s done.

    made aprons for my children – my little boy’s is a touch long but it is fine!
    His has a bus and a letter J sewn on the front – hers so far has a pink strip and a flower on the front
    I love them!

    Still want to learn to sew . . . but since I was given a lovely apron for Christmas I can put this on hold until I have more time and space for sewing.

    This was easier... 2 years ago

    than I thought it would be. My mom helped me with the first one, then I did 3 more on my own.
