Sew Creepy Apron

Since my last post, I have had some life changing moments which has affected my craft time significantly.  I have just moved house and started a full time job.  I have also lost my craft room, so at the moment everything is stuffed in a cubby under the stairs...just like naughty children.

It's definitely a chore to pull everything out and find things in my piles of boxes and bags.  Just doing one project is an eye sore to my dining room, and the husband goes nuts with my crap everywhere, which could be there for days.  Some day I will have some sort of organization going on.

But, you know what?  It's all just excuses, and nobody wants to hear those....so, here's what I created!

I found a cute pattern on Pinterest that lead to sew4home.com.  It's a fairly simple design and you can modify it to your liking.  A few months back I purchased a yard each of Dancing in the Shadows by Marcus Fabrics from fabric.com.  I wasn't sure what to do with it, so I figured I would use it to make a sewing apron to keep the fuzzies and threads off.

I changed it up a bit to include these fancy buttons I got from a boot sale for 50p.

I also added a plain black lining to the back with some extra fabric I had lying around.  I have to say it turned out pretty cute and the pockets on the front are pretty handy for sewing notions or, in my case, the E-cig and reading glasses.
