I have tried many times in the past to make garments or other wearable items like aprons.
Almost all of them were a total failure!
You would think with all the sewing I do, I could count on a success at least occasionally!
Well look at what I made!
I decided at the last minute that I needed an apron to wear in my booth at the Quiltopia Quilt Show this weekend. I wanted pockets to put things like pens, receipt books and my cell phone.
I also wanted a few more secure areas for things like cash or change. I found a pattern for one that was perfect here. It required zippers, lined pockets, and other details but I decided to not be intimidated and just get it done.
And it turned out! Now it is not perfect by any means. But it is wearable and I am quite proud of it. I love that it is short and everything I need is at my fingertips. It will be perfect for me to wear...stop by my booth and I will show it off for you!

It's perfect!! I only wish I had one of those when I used to sit at my own craft booth.
that is pretty neat - great job and so many pockets to hold things is a very good idea
That was a great idea! I love the fabric, too! Hope it is coming in handy at the quilt show. I bet everyone is getting lots of inspiration from your amazing quilts and ideas!
It looks like it will be really handy. I hope you have a great time in your booth.
Great apron. Congrats on a cute and really useful project. Stretching our creative muscles is always a good thing!
It looks lovely from here with the rounded corners and neat stitching lines. Hope your weekend is happy.
It looks great. I was looking for a pattern like this last year but couldn't find anything. Good luck with your booth.
It's just what the vendor ordered!! :o))
Cute and practical!
Sweet! Well done, too. My friends don't get why I don't sew garments, "I mean you sew, right?" Not the same thing. Hope you enjoy it.
Looks awesome Cynthia, well done for your perseverance. Wear it with pride and have a great show.
Now we just need a photo of it in action and hear how well it worked. GREAT JOB
It looks fabulous--great job!
Pretty and useful apron! Love the pockets ;)
Congratulations! I, too, struggle with anything garment or bag related. This looks fantastic, and useful too! Hope you get a lot of good use out of it!
Looks very handy! Hope your booth does very well and you meet lots of new people.
Fantastic apron Cynthia!
It was great to meet you @ Quiltopia! Your apron looks even better in person, so cheerful!
Thank you for the link, finally got it to print! Hope to make one before I will need the use of it. I've been wondering how I would cope!
