My apron

Ah Wednesday... And late afternoon at that! Well, what can I show you except the apron that I had listed for my June goals. I made it from Mrs. Yano's leftover kimono fabric and some from Mrs. Ide and though it is nice, it is not as well made as it could have been. I really am a horrid seamstress. I forgot how to make a waistband so I slapped this one together. It's just an apron! I'm not going to enter it in a fashion show! And it has enough color to be cheerful! I'm glad I'm done with it though I have enough fabric to make another one if I set my mind to it. Not for awhile! The picture of me being silly was taken by one of my fourth graders who happened to come early just as I'd finished it up. He willingly snapped the picture and I clowned for him.

It is very cute. And if anyone there ever wants to trade Japanese kimono scraps for some type of American scraps, I'm your person!

You looks pretty with the apron :-)
I was not here for along time and have to read much in your former post. I also like your chinese knotting, I think it is difficult. And I like your picture collage.
I´m so busy the last days with the kids and I don´t come around, sorry !
Have a nice day :-)

How fortuitous - the colours in the apron match the colours in the piano topper - you colour-coordinated girl you! Joking apart it looks lovely and I'm not looking at the waistband anyway :o)

You could easily be an apron model! Job well done, it's great!
