The other day I went and sewed with Gerre. A number of small projects and small elements on larger projects, have been bugging me. I brought a number of those things with me and made good progress.<\/p>\n

Flapper Apron for Mom-preparing to cut<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One project was the Flapper Apron I promised to make for my mom. This is a real garment sewing project, so I had to lay out the tissue and prepare to cut.<\/p>\n

One of the things I like about this pattern is that you can lay the fabric out, folded on the bias, lay the pattern pieces out and cut them all from 1 yard of fabric. If you want a reversible apron, you need two yards. Still that is a lot of bang for your fabric buck.<\/p>\n

Gerre and I tried a lot of different things to get the paint tubes on the fabric to line up straight on the fabric. We couldn’t figure it out. We decided that since it was an apron, it would probably be ok to not<\/em> cut it on the bias. If have more fabric if I need to remake it. I am doing it this way so the motifs are oriented properly.<\/p>\n

Sadly, there was no information on the pattern focusing directional fabric. The directions are complete, but brief.<\/p>\n

\"Flapper<\/a>

Folding the fabric lengthwise parallel with the selvedge posed some challenges. One challenge is that the whole piece is on the straight of the grain. I figured that, since it is an apron, it will probably be fine. I did put the tie on the bias to enhance tying. The motifs will not be straight, but I think that will be fine.<\/p>\n

The larger problem is that the folded fabric is not wide enough for the whole pattern. I plan to add some small pieces on, matching as best I can.<\/p>\n

I suppose nothing is simple.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
