    Default Here's my apron

    I'm quite pleased with it. Lesson learned: Trim the seams as needed AFTER the garment is finished, no matter what the directions say.

    When I sewed the skirt to the waistband, it said to trim to 1/4 inch. I figured with the waistband folding over and all that it would be OK. Well, by the way the waistband is stiched together, it didn't quite fit. It worked out all right, but it wouldn't have hurt to wait to trim.

    You can't see it in the pic, but there is some gold gabric trim around the pockets.
