Throwback Thursday: Another Tea Towel Apron...but different

Thursday, 17 July 2008 19:50 by sara

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!

I LOVE my bias tape maker. I was able to find mine at Hancocks. I made all of the piping for my little girl's nursary. Too, too cute!
