Moving On

I really tried to keep this simple. Really!

It was to be an apron with some embroidery on it. But well, as I started making the apron after digitizing the embroider work and stitching that part out, I just could not stop. At first the embroidery piece was to be the bib. Then, it was just to have a straight skirt, no ruffle. Well, the embroidery piece just needed more and a straight skirt was so boring. AND I had this cool fabric but wanted to do it justice.

So, it ended up with two layers of skirt, two ruffles, one on each layer. Two layers are on the bib, the embroidery piece that was backed and then the bib it was sewn to. BUT you don’t have to make this that way – you could just sew it with one skirt and no ruffle, or one skirt and two ruffles, or maybe one skirt and one ruffle. You could just make the bib out of the embroidery piece and not worry about two pieces to the bib. But, of course, it will look cuter if you do the whole thing. LOL

Here are the pics. As you can see, it really needed it ALL! and OH, I also made another embroidery design for an alternate. Personally, I like the second one better, but thought the first one would go over better.
