Okay, so it was probably more like three months, but the apron that I mentioned here and here is finally finished. My coworker passed her motorcycle license a while back and this apron has been in the works forever as a congratulations gift. I'm tempted to hold it for her birthday next month, but it's done and I want it out of the house!
So, as a reminder, here was the fabric choice:
Tasteless whores on bikes for one side. Red and white pillow ticking for the reverse with white and blue stars for the accent pieces.
I used the Emmeline apron, which I had previously made a few years ago (as featured on my old blog). As mentioned in that post, this apron takes a lot of fabric. Luckily, I had all of this in my stash. The pillow ticking was left over from another apron, the tasteless whores were from an ill advised purchase when I first started sewing, and the blue and white fabric was probably picked up at a yard sale.
So here is the finished product:
I don't like the bias tape binding along the top sides. It turns into the neck straps, but I think there must be a better way to get straps on there.
