apron time- part 2
Here is my second method for attaching the collar. The seam is under the collar, hidden from the inside and outside of the apron. Worked pretty well, but you have to make sure your two collar pieces overlap (or at least touch) in the front and back to avoid seeing the stitching. I stitched the three layers together (minus the actual collar) to make it lay flatter.
I do like the look of this method better. A few more tries and I should get to down.
I even tried top stitching the outer edge of the collar with a fancy stitch.
A smaller collar, back to bias tape to attach.
I like adding buttons for that school girl look.
If you recall this apron from yesterday- it got the chop. The bodice part was just too jacked up. I added a wide waistband, to be worn high on the waist.
I think it might need at least one pocket, and some lace to the waistband too. Decisions, decisions…

April 25, 2012 at 11:59 pmI admire your determination to get it right. Also your ability to sew. My mother used to have an apron that was like 2 slings wrapping around your body as best as I can describe it. I loved that apron. It was made with the craziest, ugliest patterned material with wild rick rack all around the outside. LOVED it! Feel free to come by my house and make me some slipcovers for my furniture, I’m going crazy thinking about it!

April 26, 2012 at 3:30 pmThanks, it’s so great to get positive feedback when sometimes you’ve looked at something so long you want to stomp on it then burn it.
I’ve been combining my favorite aspects of a bunch of patterns to make the perfect apron. Moh-ahh,ahh,ahh! (evil laugh)
Let’s see if soon I can follow up with a pattern of my own.
