It has been a long time coming, but I finally finished Kelsie's apron. I took a long break from sewing after I made my skirt for several reasons, but I think the main one was due to the fact that I no longer had my own machine. This particular project wasn't too bad. I did learn that I am not a big fan of D-rings as they don't seem to stay tight all that well. Granted I am not sure if that is because the straps are so small or if it is just the way they work. If I decide to make another apron I will probably skip the D-rings and just make another strap for the neckline.
Kelsie seemed to like the apron until she realized that I wanted her to wear it. She then decided that it should be her Aunt Judy's apron, because "Aunt Judy loves ladybugs". I did finally bribe her into trying the apron on by promising her a Popsicle. Once she had it on she seemed to like it and promised to wear it next time she cooks with mommy, daddy, or grandma. We shall see if that comes to pass. Either way I consider the project a success and I am hoping that this will get me back into the swing of sewing again. I didn't realize how much I missed it until I started sewing again today!
