this is such a simple project it is almost silly. but, considering i have only one year of machine sewing under my belt, i can still pat myself on the back, k? i didn't follow a pattern. (i have a teeny tiny irrational fear of them.) here are the measurements i used.
i love the look of the thick waistband. it is tres flattering. i also like the smooth modern look. (not to mention my irrational fears also include ruffles. i know, i know. i will face them at some point.) and isn't it fun to have it reversible? i chose prints with different moods to suit the day. also, if one side gets dirty, you could just flip it.
next time, i will try making it longer. with my fuller figure, i ended up preferring it tied higher than my natural waist (like under the bustline higher), which meant it fell shorter than i expected. i also would like to lengthen the straps, so i can wrap them back around to the front to tie. just cause it looks cute.
one last goodbye before i send you off to your new owner. soon you will be living on the island of zanzibar! my little half apron, what a world traveler you will become. take care of my friend and keep her clean. i look forward to hearing of your adventures in africa.
