Sewing Apron...Sadie Style

stuck at home
with no voice
a bundle of cotton drill
and some old scraps of embroidered fabric
in my cosy sadie PJs
i pondered

it was sarah's idea!
something you shimmy into
tie up the sash
and get productive in

it works in the way that 
wearing high heels
to the office
makes you think better
only much more exciting
because you get to sew

my friends...
a sewing apron
sadie style


now
i'm not known for my ability to sew
it's true
so if you have a pair of scissors
sewing machine
and a little desire
you will no doubt be able to complete this project

of course, what would be a sewing apron
without a little felt pocket for one's pins and scissors?


and then a general pocket for carrying one's 
snacks and other bits in


and from there
it was all a very basic affair
sipping tea
and making ever so rough measurements 
by holding the fabric up
against myself

the pocket decided it needed to 
go on crooked
who was i to argue?
and i ended up with funny little
pointy bits on the bottom of the apron
and it was a touch too short
but regardless....
Ta DA!



 meanwhile....
I think I'm going to make another one
see if I can get an actual pattern going perhaps
i have been eyeing off my sister's cute little table cloth...
