I've been chatting to some of our newer members and it sounds like going through the Sewing 101 Course together will be very helpful for many in the group. Doing things together instantly makes it more motivating and less overwhelming! ➡️ I'll work through it with you over 2 weeks, with small, easy tasks to complete weekly. ➡️We'll be sewing a beginner project that can help you practice using your machine. Who's in? 💭 Let me know and I'll start setting it up 👇

I am so excited to share the end result of my "upcycled" apron. I tweaked the apron to be a bit more versatile for our specific needs. This is what I have changed: 1. I didn't use the elastic in the neckband because I didn't have enough and the shops are closed by the time I get home from work. 2. I made an unisex apron, so I left out the ruffle as it gives a feminine look and without it my husband can use it too. 3. I added a pocket only on the one side, then you have the option if it's needed and the beautiful pictures on the one side aren't hidden. 4. I improvised and added 2 "loops" on both sides of the apron. You can clip a lighter or bottle opener to the apron as well as slide a braai tong through the bigger loop.

Here's my completed apron, I had so much fun !! Thank You Christine xoxoxoxox

I have assembled the blocks for the front and the lining. Almost ready to start sewing.....

This is my finished apron! I wanted a fun colour combination, so I went for this pink flowers and zebra print🌸🦓 I made my ruffles and neck tie opposite to the main apron fabric, this way it’s easier to see the ruffles! This was such a fun project - thank you Christine😊
