Now before you start thinking about romantic ruffles, kitchy retro prints and the smell of freshly baked cookies let me fill you in on a few more details.
The supplies for Apron-fest 2012 are:
- 1 bolt of ROYAL BLUE Prestaline
- 145mtrs of RED 1" Binding (which needs to be folded & ironed before stitching)
- 5mtrs of 1" elastic
- 2000mtr RED thread (which will no doubt not be enough!)
And because it was soooooooo much fun.... repeat the process another 50 TIMES!!!
These little aprons form part of the uniform for a local kindergarten - keeps their brand new uniforms paint and booger FREE! Please don't get me wrong - I can't complain as this is guaranteed annual paid stitching... with the only downside is that its repetitive and at times my mind wanders on to other projects (non red/blue projects) that I could be stitching. But the POSITIVE.... remember that feeling you get when you see someone wearing something your created? Multiply it another 50 TIMES!!!!
Sometimes you've just got to get it done for the sake of the money... but it's always nice when there are other rewards too :)
ReplyDelete50! Wow... yep, I think that would make me stir crazy! But you're right, seeing them being worn on all those little cuties will make it all worth while in the end.
ReplyDeleteVery cute, but more importantly how did you let yourself get roped into that?
