Hi Ladies,

I have just completed the Apron Tutorial .

Please post any questions you have to this thread. If I need to make any changes to the tutorial, I will now make those changes in red. This way if you have already printed off a copy, you can easily see the changes, if or when any are made.

Happy Sewing!

Diana,
I have it all printed out and will pick up my fabric and pattern at Joann's tomorrow. I think you've done an excellent job with the instructions and I can't wait to get started.

Thanks Dee!! Great idea about the red if changes need to be made. Looks super to me!! I'm going to be picking out my fabric from my stash this weekend and hopefully get started the beginning of the week.

I got my pattern today and I already had the perfect fabric in my stash. I can't wait to get started on Sunday!

I think you've done a gorgeous job, and aprons have got to be one of the most handy practical clothing saviour devices ever. Naturally invented by women, for their own use! Happy Aprons all!!!!!!!!!!

Got my pattern and fabric. I've cut out the pattern and ironed it. Hopefully tomorrow I can get to the fabric part.

I hate to admit my ignorance but there is just no way around it. I have never ever heard of sewing tracing paper and a tracing wheel. My grandmother sewed for a living and I don't remember her ever having this. What is it? Do I get it at Joann's Fabrics and if so, what section? Is it necessary or is there something else I can do? I've got everything cut out and the pattern pieces still pinned to the fabric, maybe tonight I can sew a bit. I love my fabric, very retro, can't wait to show you.

Yes Pat you can get them at JoAnn's

Here is the tracing paper http://www.joann.com/catalog.jhtml?C...reground=green

and here is the tracing wheel (sometimes called a dressmakers wheel) http://www.joann.com/catalog.jhtml?C...reground=green

I found a kit with both the paper and the wheel. http://www.joann.com/catalog.jhtml?C...reground=green

You can also mark the pattern markings with basting stitches which I explained in the tutorial. If you need help, just holler.

Dee I tried to use your links for topstitching and rolled hem, and it came up like I was trying to edit your post. I just wanted to double check that I understood the terms. I will look them up at About.com but I thought you might want to know.

Thanks Melody, I'm fixing them now.

Thanks Diana,
I got my tracing paper and wheel but due to dd having 4 hours of homework last night I didn't get a chance to play with them.
