I'm moving the start date to Friday of this week, October 17th! 

I'm tweaking some things on my pattern. Since I started the instructions from scratch, I just want to fine-tune them after I made an apron. I want the video instructions to reflect the changes so I need a few more days.

The only thing that doesn't change is definitely 1 yard of fabric - I would use 60" if you plan to use the same color for pockets. Then you'll need one yard for the lining. For my lining, I bought a polyester/cotton mix, white.  It was a bit softer and lighter than regular cotton. 

Still, 1/2 yd. for embellishment fabric is the plan, there may be leftover.

This is an adjustable apron, using polyester cording. I love it because you can pull the apron lower or higher.

You'll need approx. 3 yd. and this depends on your frame, but I think 3 yds. will allow enough tie in the back. 

Print the fabric requirements if needed below, added a pic of the cable cording too.

Looking forward to this, if you have questions just post away!

Let's see how many people see this! The first 6 people that confirm they will participate, I'll send you 3 yd. of cable cord. I have brand new cord, willing to share. 🤗 

Contact me and send your address 😉

I'm in! And I'd like to know where people like purchasing fabrics- I'd like to find some Christmasy print for this project.

@amy-harter

I like to use Etsy - I go right to my shops. I don't search Etsy anymore (if I do I'm super careful!) I didn't realize what some poor souls sell on there 🙁  Here are some of my favorite fabric shops:

https://www.etsy.com/shop/SimplyLoveFabrics (Lots of seasonal Moda)

https://www.etsy.com/shop/handmadeisheartmade

https://www.etsy.com/shop/BearCountryCottons (they have a nice selection of Moda solids)
