Bird's Nest
This sweet looking bird's nest is what remains of my sweater back after ripping it out. As you can see, it's as crimped as an 80s hairstyle, so I bought some soak wool wash in the flora scent to remedy this.
I needed a break from my sweater, and needed the instant gratification that only baking or sewing can provide. However, I had more fabric than butter at the moment.
I did some quick planning after figuring out which scraps to use. I used some 18x24" fabric scraps I bought from my last visit to Purl in Soho, and something from my small fabric stash.
And this is my new and first apron!
I just eye-balled everything and started ironing and sewing. I ended up doing two pockets because of how much fabric I had, and so that the one pocket wouldn't sag if I put too much in it. (Mike's suggestion!)
I also ruched the top of the apron for some extra flair. I am a big fan of cummerbunds, and anything that looks like them, I like.
And after all that sewing, I thought I needed a new pincushion.
Now, I have enough of that new project glow to attack my sweater again.

wow, have you been a busy bee! You and Sherry- I've been a good little producer too, just too damn lazy to post about it. I marvel in my own consistency!
Adorable apron!!!
I love the color combo in that apron! I have been planning on making an apron for a month now and haven't gotten around to it . . . I'll have to live vicariously through others I guess, and I have to say that reading that post was almost as satisfying as if I had done all the work myself!
