This is the third apron try- mainly because #1 was such a blunder and we needed two usable ones for the event that my store (Shy Cat Jewelry) will be attending. I'm really please with how this one turned out. I quilted around each circle in the back (it doesn't how well in the photos but it looks AMAZING) and quilted around a couple of the cranes (I got tired and stopped- the circles had already worn me out. XP ) I decided to add a thicker waist band to this one- partly to add more color to the whole thing and partly to drop the pockets lower. On the waistband I did a special embroidery stitch in gold with my machine to make it pop a little. (I really like the effect.) I messed up on the fan a little and the fabric I used was too dainty/soft and ended up twisting with the stitching. Overall- for using scrap fabric that I've probably been holding on since I was very very young..... well I'm very pleased.
