Tablecloths

Tablecloths are expensive, especially considering how easily and often we stain them. In addition, sewing them involves mostly straight lines. The result? I made several for my own dining set in March 2009.

















I also made a tablecloth for Natalie. Again, I gave away the finished piece before I photographed it. However, here's a photo of the fabric I used. The red broadcloth made a border for the calico.

Aprons

I've been making aprons for over a year. Every time I think I'm done with them, I find another friend who needs one. I have a nice pattern that makes a reversible apron with piping along the edges; the aprons look very nice when they are finished. I haven't been doing a very good job of photographing the aprons before giving them away, but here are some photos of the fabric scraps.

I've also included photos of two complete aprons: mine (with cherries) and one I made for Michelle from a world map panel. Michelle's took a little more work than the others because I had to piece it together, but I'm happy with how it turned out. As for mine, I wear it all the time.
