Date: 10/16/12 9:49 PM So, I volunteered to make 6 aprons for my Beaver Scouts for tonight (I volunteered last night), and was asked to do a dozen instead. So - what did I do ? I overslept ! And didn't get started until almost noon. And somehow managed to finish all 12 at right about 6pm ! They're really basic kids aprons - not lined or anything. Here is one of them (all 12 are the same).

In a bag right next to me is a bag with canvas to make 14 aprons for a market scene in a kids' play.

I can commiserate with you- somehow one scarf I was making for myself grew into a project for a group and paid orders for more! ------ Connie Bontje http://www.couturesmith.com Twitter: Couturesmith Facebook: Connie Bontje Desperately trying to keep ahead of my pattern, fabric and dressform collection!

Date: 10/17/12 8:49 AM Sauvage, I am very much paying for that 6-hour sprint of sewing yesterday ! My neck and shoulders are horribly sore. But it was worth it ! The kids enjoyed the aprons. I put my husband to work turning all 48 straps inside right for me, and even had him press some of them ! No way could I have gotten it all done without his help.

I don't think I could have gotten all those hems so even with perfect corners sewing so many at one time! ------ Mary http://checkmatesystem.com

Date: 10/17/12 1:59 PM I found the pattern online - I will share the link when I'm back at home. The picture is an iron on - all 12 had the same picture. I was impressed with my hems (yes I'm giving myself a pat on the back) because none were measured, pinned or pressed ! I didn't have the time to do them right.
