Jason picked out this fantasticly boyish pattern for his apron. I worked on it for a good three hours last night before I realized that I shouldn’t have jumped in without a pattern and without thinking all the pieces through.

I have now asked forgiveness of a very patient little boy, read emails from a wonderful new friend who is an expert at all things crafty and I’ve talked on the phone with a friend when my brain won’t imagine what I’m trying to do. (Thanks Kristin)

So I’m starting over today and I have high hopes that I will in fact finish this apron today. OF course sewing is happening in between homeschool, dishes, laundry and nursing a baby.

I’m making the apron blue flames with orange flame pockets on one side with orange flames on the opposite side with blue flame pockets. It’s going to be interesting to pull this together. I’ll keep taking pictures so you can see how this comes together.

Wish me luck!
