I'm currently avoiding cutting out more Halloween costume stuff, so am posting the final aprons as a semi-productive form of procrastination.
I made my sister an
Emmeline for her birthday back in the spring. Well, technically her birthday is in the winter, but I didn't give her the apron until spring. Not my proudest sisterly act. It's a good thing she loves me anyway.
Tardiness aside, I really, really loved how it turned out.

The one good thing about waiting so long to deliver the gift was that I got to give it to her in person. This was especially advantageous because my niece LOVED it, and she had a birthday coming up, so her gift was a no-brainer. She turned 11, so I made hers a bit smaller, but not a lot. I think I cut the pieces 2" narrower and the skirt part of the apron 2" shorter.

You can't tell in the full-length photo, but the black and pink print has glitter in it -- perfect for a bling-loving tween. The close-up also shows that despite declaring after
the first time I made one of these that I would hand sew the final bits next time, I didn't. I did discover that generous use of a fabric glue stick kept things lined up well enough for respectable machine-stitching. Yay!
Okay, back to the costumes. I had hoped to get them pretty much finished this weekend, but am not even close. After looking at all the things on our calendar this week, I don't think I'll get nearly as much done for
KCW as I'd originally planned, either, but I'd like to get a couple of things made after the costumes are done.
