If any of you follow me on
Pinterest, you may have seen that I pinned this free
baby apron pattern to my "
Things to Make" board a few weeks ago.
What a great idea! My baby has just started feeding herself, and the regular bibs we have just aren't cutting it. Since I had some leftover bias tape from the
Toy Stroller Makeover, I thought this would be a cinch. Here's what I ended up with:
It's not perfect, but it does the trick. A couple of things I learned about this pattern:
I wouldn't recommend using bias tape this small. It was very difficult to work with, and I wrestled with my machine a lot. There are still a few little places where I didn't catch enough of the fabric in the tape, and it came out a little bit after I put it in the wash. It also shrunk quite a bit in the wash, so next time I will cut the pattern a little bit bigger.
Overall, it was great for a free pattern! I was able to do it all in one afternoon. I can't wait to try it again with bigger tape, which I think will make things go much faster.
How long did this take to make - start to finish? I just want to know so I can plan accordingly. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Karla, sorry it took so long to get back to you. It probably took me about two hours to make this, since I had to unpick things a billion times. It wouldn't take too long (under an hour) if you didn't mess up as much as I did along the way.
