Sewing Sunsets

Sewing an apron is such a quick and easy project, and these aprons also make good gifts.  This pattern was very easy and I had lots of fun making several of these aprons.

After I sewed the neckband to the apron, I then hemmed the arms of the apron.  That was quite easy to do and pressing the hem down first made the job much easier.  I used a seam gauge to press down about 1/4 inch and then fold and press down the fabric again.  Once again, the edge stitch presser foot helped to edge stitch both sides of the apron arm hems.

After the arms were pressed and hemmed, then it was time to sew the ruffle.  The raw edges were finished and then the three pieces were sewn together and the seams pressed open.  The ruffle was hemmed, using a narrow hem.  Then the top edges of the ruffle was gathered and pinned to the bottom of the apron.  I think I may have pictures to show you of that, but it will have to wait until my next post.

In the meantime…..

Happy Sewing!
