I originally set out this week thinking I wanted to try a patchwork purse or tote of some sort. I even found a couple in my projects folder. But I'm feeling a little burnt out on bags right now (nevermind the BTRS Charming Handbag I'm finishing up tonight). Sorting through my stash, I found some tea towels I picked up a few weeks ago at Target, so I decided another tea towel apron was in order.
Several Wednesday's ago, I gave away this apron, made from Meg's tutorial. It landed with Emily, who gave it a nice home, and made cobbler in it.
Aprons tend to make me happy, so I thought I'd try one of the tutorials for making a full apron using a tea towel. Oddly enough, Ben Franklin has instructions, here, for making one, which Jennicakes cleverly transformed with a little bias tape.
So I'm going to give this a try this week. It will actually be a double-challenge for me, because I'm going to try my hand at making bias tape. It will be a first, but I've been dying to use the new bias tape maker my Mother In Law tracked down for me. You know, those things are a little tricky to find!
