Craft Club: Make a Vintage Apron at Norden Farm + Free Worksheet Download

Last Thursday was the second of our Craft Clubs at Norden Farm Arts Centre.  It was the first where we had asked our attendees to bring along their sewing machines, we were a little unsure of how it would work out, but we had a great group of ladies and a really fun time. You can Download our worksheet here if you want to have a go at making one yourself.

As this was a smaller group they were all lucky enough to take home a copy of the latest Cloth Magazine.

This cupcake fabric was made for vintage style aprons.

 Stitching the top hem on the pocket before sewing it on.

 Ruffles!!

Inserting the apron body in to the waist band.

 Getting the waist band in place, I love that this machine matches the apron.

Four of our Ladies wearing their aprons, don't they look gorgeous!

If you want to have a go at making an apron like we have, we adapted McCall's pattern 5284 which is a really cute apron pattern with a few different variations.
