Remember, don't worry post? This apron is the last of my Apron Affinity series for a while. After all, everybody knows what a serious apparel sewist I am.

| Making these aprons was actually a lot of fun! |
Now on the apparel note, I've decided to revisit a sewing strategy that I incorporate for a while last year. I'm not sure why I abandoned it since it worked so well. I call the strategy NEW PROJECT SUNDAY, which simply means:
- I prepare and cut out a new project on Sunday
- Work on that project in available increments during the week
- Try to complete the project by Saturday evening; and
- Then start the cycle all over again...
I've really been enjoying your aprons. I wear an apron in the kitchen all the timesince I do not want to get food all over those nice tops that I've made!
ReplyDeleteI love the weekly timescale for a project. It encourages it to be done in increments each evening and the be almost magically done the next weekend. I will have to try this approach.
ReplyDeleteI like your idea and I often do something similar. On Saturdays there are a whole heap of radio documentaries on one station that I love to listen to, so I regularly choose that time to cut out and prep several garments. I have some plastic boxes with lids that stack so it's easy for me to grab one and work on it for a short while. I try and cut things that need the same colour thread in the overlocker, if possible.
ReplyDeleteI love your series of aprons. Thanks for posting the weekly project. It is perfect timing now that my sewing time is going to be limited.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful scheduling idea. I like having a deadline but also giving myself enough time to finish a project.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Faye, you just introduced me to a new blog. I like it. Your time line is perfect.
ReplyDeleteAll the Aprons are really cute! I think my favorite is still the "shoe" apron because I love, love shoes!!!
ReplyDelete...by the way, thanks for your candid response on the designer fabric! I submitted a post today asking others what they thought too. I will post the garment sometime this week.
I like all of your aprons. I never had an apron until GMarie made me one a couple of years back. (When I make spaghetti with red sauce, I conveniently forget to take off my apron so I don't splash sauce on my top. And no one accuses me of wearing a bib.)
