Paint Tube Flapper Apron<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I finished the Flapper Apron for my mom. This is the project I started at Sew Day with Gerre<\/a> and then worked on at the most recent BAM Sew Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I spent a few hours on Sunday finishing it up. Now I can show it at the BAM meeting in a few weeks and give it to my mom after she returns from Portland.<\/p>\n

This is a pattern you can use with a yard of fabric. You cut the pattern out on the bias. The biggest attraction is that you only *need* one yard of fabric to make it. I usually make the apron reversible, which takes 2 yards. I like to give myself a little breathing room with 1.25 yards on each side. Still, the pattern is designed for one yard of fabric.<\/p>\n

The pattern directions say nothing about directional fabric. When I made my youngest SIL’s apron<\/a> the fabric was directional. I decided not to pay attention to the fabric motif and just made the apron. The motif is at an angle, but SIL didn’t complain. On my mom’s version, I wanted the paint tubes to go up and down. Gerre helped me look at the different options for cutting it out. I was concerned about the bias, but since this is an apron, I decided not to care too much.<\/p>\n

I did notice when I was finishing it that the edges are all, now, on the bias. For an apron, who cares? For other types of garments, I wouldn’t make this choice. Also, I top stitched all around the edge, so the bias shouldn’t be an issue.<\/p>\n

Read about this pattern on the first post I wrote<\/a> about it. Long term readers will know that I have made several of these aprons. You can see all the aprons I have made, including several from this pattern, using the tag<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
