Finally!

I can't believe it took me so long just to make myself a simple little apron.  I made Jean and Maia's mother/daughter aprons which were very fun to make.  They turned out cute and look even cuter on them.  So I just kept sewing.  This Ginkgo print on linen is delicious.  I purchased it a while ago from the awesome designer Lara Cameron's shop.  I only bought roughly a fat quarter, and didn't know what to make with it to do it justice.   While looking for fabric for my apron, I pulled it out from my stash, held it up and around my waist.  Yes, the perfect size for an apron.

 

And how about this waistband?  I had some other linen I cut an extra long strip from, folded it in half lengthwise, and sandwiched the apron in between.  Since I like raw edges every now and then, that's how I left them.  Super easy.  Wore it around the house all day today..... now if I could just wear it out.....
