I will soon. I'm not happy with it yet. I'm not ready to throw it in the trash either, but I want to add a layer of fabric to make the lower part wider. It's going to be kind of shabby chic cute IMO. I'll wear it but I don't think I'd give it as a gift, ya know?TanksHill said:You guys are giving me the sewing bug again!!!

I finished that stinking apron!! I added a layer of white eyelet under the skirt and used apple green bias tape for the ties. I'm not sure about pictures. It's a pretty rough project. We'll see. It's wearable. I won't be heart broken to stain it. It's not like anything I could have bought! Next project: a skirt without using a pattern. I have a favorite skirt that I love the fit and drape of. I've got a couple of yards of fabric that I think will make a nice skirt. 
Don't know that I'll tackle it this week but soon! I want more long (nearly ankle length) skirts to wear to school. They're the most comfortable, practical things at school when it gets really hot, IMO. And since we're in school till June 20 I'm going to need to be comfortable!
If I use the apron on Easter Sunday there may be a picture to share... maybe!

I did some sewing a week or so ago. I made the pioneer skirt. Ok so let me tell ya. 2 yards of 60 inch fabric makes one really thick fluffy skirt. I had the softest burgundy flannel. So I gave it a go. I used the draw string at the waist as per the pioneer instructions. If I was on the prairie it would have been great. As it stands we had rain so I wore it around the house over my jeans and then thermals later in the evening. I was snugly and warm all day.
Now the Chemise was another thing. It was basically rectangles with the corners cut. Then joined, kinda looked like a cross layed out. With a draw string that ran around the neck/shoulder tops. Very simple construction. But.... Next time I make it the corner triangles will need to be bigger to fit my ummm bust and shoulders.
I did have my 8 yo try it on. It was the perfect nightgown shape and size for her. But then I tried to change the sleeve and it got away from me.
Now it's just waiting to be dismantled.
Maybe I will cut it down to a sundress for one of my girls.
Hey Abi wheres the dress???
