I often wear clothes that dont' have any pockets
and after years of frustration I finally came up with a solution. An apron! So here it is made from scrap fabric from my long skirts. (Hm... maybe I should put a pic of one of those on here...) I decided to make it reversable as I wanted to line it for sturdiness and this way it was like two aprons in one. Simple pockets, including one for a pen, to keep my cell phone, paper, boogy towels, and whatever else I need, organized. I did a decorative stitch of swans or tulips on the pockets just for kicks. My son loved that part and now every time I sew something he wants to use the swans.
This is a cute apron great for around the house and shopping, but I'm thinking it would have been nicer had I made it to cover my chest as well, so when cooking or wahsing dishes my
clothes get less splatters on them.
On a nother note, Cleo was facinated with the apron and so I tried it on her and it was so adorable! Came all the way to her feet! So, I'm thinking matchign aprons for the three of us might be in order some day and this pattern might make cute skirt for her as well.
