Monday Spice Collection (Part 5) - Wedding Apron

The last part of my Monday Spice Collection Series, as promised, is somehow non-food oriented. This whole series started as a wedding present for my sister, and a part of the *hand-made* section was actually a sewn Wedding Apron. My Sister loved it, as you can see:

WEDDING COOKING APRON:

prep time: 4 hours

• baby blue material
  
• baby pink material
• 20 cm red ribbon
• black thick gobelin thread
• needle
• scissors
• sewing machine
• a small wooden spoon
  

Ok, first we need to realize one fact. The apron is double-sided. This means that it is pink from one side and blue from the other (the wedding pattern is on the blue side only, though).
So first, we need to cut an apron shape. Cut the apron from both - pink and blue cloth according to the drawing below (add 2 cm extra for sewing from each side):

(This sketch is one sided, so we have to make everything doubled, ok ? )

Then cut the po 25x20 pocket again from both materials.
Then four of 50 cm stripes for tightening the apron around your neck and four 80 cm for around your back (again both colors). I made them around 5 cm thick, but it is pretty much up to you :-)

Let us start sewing now. Dust off your sewing machine and turn it on. Set it on the zig zag mode and stitch all the cut out pieces to prevent from ripping.

Then take the blue main apron part and in the top part, embroidery the bride by using ´chain stitch´ (as described above, next to the ´ingredients´). As for the bride´s veil, take a piece of pink cloth and arrange it (no specific directions). Sew in the ribbon and the wooden spatula (I went to the ice-cream store and asked for one of those, it was too long, so I trimmed the bottom part).
Now to the tightening stripes part. Sew the pink and the blue together like this:

Make four of them, two for the back (the long ones) and two for the neck (the short ones). Summon all the parts together and sew ´em :-) Do not forget the colors. Pink ones go together and so do the blue ones.
EASY, cheesy, aproneesy ;-)

Oh, my Monday Spice Collection event is now sadly over :-( It was a lot of fun, I have to admit..

THEREFORE, I have prepared a little tiny surprise.... Let s see NEXT MONDAY, shall we ?
