I've expanded my apron collection (remember my buttons and bows apron minus the buttons and bows?) by going a touch crazy with Simplicity 1805:
The variations were so pretty that I decided to make them all...apart from view 3, as I didn't have any Ric Rac to hand. I also made alterations to view 4 by sewing the 'ruffle' shape onto the body of the apron and by omitting the pockets to better show off the fabric's pattern.
Aprons are so much fun to make as you can be really creative with notions and colours and generally go a bit wild! They are deceptively time-consuming though and if I'm going to be selling them on my friend's website (launching on 1 October), I have to seriously consider pricing in a way that doesn't alienate people, but is also worth my while. Any suggestions on pricing would be very welcome please! Anyway, without further ado, I introduce:
Strawberry Polka Dots
Pin-Up Polkas
Strawberry Red
