Due to inspiration in learning how to sew, I decided to make an apron for my sister, JoAnne, for Christmas. She loves to cook and most of her other gifts include unique kitchen utensils or devices for cooking, so I wanted to give her something to compliment it all.
I walked into the fabric store in town here and saw this great colorful, polka dotted fabric.
My mum helped me cut everything straight and the right length. I've always had problems cutting in straight lines, so without my mum's help, the finished product would be very crooked.
Then the sewing machine and I hung out for a while. Step by step, it started looking more and more like a real apron.
Not long after this, I had a finished product. Thankfully, the sewing machine and I didn't get into any fights and I do not have any injuries, which is surprising, especially working with my mum's ancient Singer machine that she used to use when she was a kid. It has it's distinctive smell, indeed, but I'm thankful that my mum could be my second-(wo)man hand in the completion of this project.
Now, JoAnne will look even better in the kitchen with knife in hand. I'm glad I can contribute somewhat to her delicious meals she prepares daily for our family!
nice work baldwin!
