New Apron

First of all, I should probably fill you all in on a few things. During Fall semester, I decided that there were a few things in my life that needed to be changed. Like my major. I realized that I no longer wanted to be an Interior Designer. I looked at the options for other majors and saw Family Consumer Science Education. In high school, I always thought about things I would do if I were a home ec teacher and I realized that that was what I wanted to be. So, I switched my major and finished out the semester in Interior Design. It was kind of sad because I loved my teachers and my ID friends -- but I still get to see them seeing that my new classes are in the same building -- but I LOVE my new major! Almost everyday I was reassured that I made the right choice about switching my major. I am so excited to finish school and to be a teacher.
Winter semester I started my new classes. So fun! I took cooking, sewing, child development, an education class, a fun health science class, and a religion class. I finally learned how to sew! Now to the main point of this post.
Last summer I bought an apron pattern because I wanted to make an apron. It is the same apron that my sister-in-law made a few years ago that I loved! so I decided that I wanted to make one too. I got the pattern, fabric, and I got the pattern cut out... and then I realized that I don't know how to sew. Since I took that sewing class, I learned how to sew. As soon as I got home I pulled out my fabric and finished my apron! I had so much fun. It is so satisfying to me to be able to pull out a pattern and (mostly) be able to figure it out and make something! Once again, I am so excited with my new major and the skills I am learning from it!
Anyways, here are a few pictures of my apron! I am SO so happy with how it turned out.

The bodice. (It's reversible!)

Both sides ready to be sewn together!

Pockets! This was my own addition. Well, it was my mom's suggestion and then she showed me a shape of a pocket, and I made it happen! I am so happy with how it turned out!

Straps. And the pocket kind of blends in in this light.

Ta-Da! All finished! I machine sewed the straps to the apron. It said to hand sew them.. but that would have taken forever. I did sew the rest of it though and that took a long time, and they aren't perfect, but they turned out well.
