Bridal Shower Gift

I just spent my entire evening/night/early morning hours making a present for my friend’s bridal shower. I think the most time consuming part was my attempt at bedazzling [read as: rearranging iron-on rhinestones one by one into an aesthetically pleasing design.] The backbreaking work paid off and I am very pleased with the sparkles. Here’s the part that took the longest amount of time!

Only drawback from this project–I am a bit disappointed with my fabric choice. I try to get similar fabrics for projects but I somehow ended up with one stretchy fabric among the normals and it made the project a bit wonky. Sigh, I have to settle for imperfections as the shower is this Saturday –hopefully the bride-to-be does not mind!

EDIT: Here’s the apron it all it’s glory

Time to roll up the sleeves…

…and break out the bobbins! What’s a bobbin?? Well, I asked myself that too when I first saw a sewing machine. Actually, I was full of questions when I first tried my hand at sewing, but I finally figured out most of the features of my sewing machine through lots of trial and even more errors. And for the record, a bobbin is just a little cylinder wound with thread that you put inside the machine.

Anyways, I started sewing a while back, but never really got into the swing of it. However, once I decided upon this sewing thesis, I decided to have an official beginning project instead of starting out cold. The project of choice: an apron.

I bought a nautical themed remnant and matching remnants a long time ago intending to make my friend something incredibly awesome. As usual, that idea fell off the wayside. However, with her birthday looming closer and closer, I finally decided. She had been baking a lot recently and I remembered a few months prior, she was looking at cute aprons online. So, I set out to make the best apron I’ve ever made…not a big deal since it would be my first.

I used this apron as a template.
