This is my first attempt at an apron. I didn't use a ruler, a cutting board or any prior knowledge of how to sew what so ever (besides 7th grade home ec, where Jen and I built a "house" that we could skip classes and play fort in . . . )
I got these fabrics from three different places: the navy angels hugging (the body), the pin stripe faded jade (the bottom) and the weird pocket flannel are all from a salvation army in Livingston, Montana. The pretty lace for the neck & frill on the pocket and the rust colored zipper are from Mark in Butte, Montana, who let me take as much stuff as I could fit in a bag (or two? plus shoes that turn into ROLLERSKATES!) for ONE DOLLAR. The tie is from Goodwill Thrift in MisSOULa, Montana. Pretty rad mix of things, if you ask me.
The scissors used are old sorta' rusty shears - they reminded me of the scissors my mom used to use, but with a griddle feel to 'em. Bob sold me the sewing machine. I almost got a sewing machine from a disgruntled ex-wife who wanted to give me her ex-mother-in-law's sweet machine for $35 so she could buy her son Benjamin popsicles since he just got his tonsils out. When I went to meet her, I bought him a box of popsicles just because I was so thankful. She bailed on me, so alls I got was a box of popsicles... and a brand NEW machine named Audrey!
