Year of Making Stuff: Week 4

Filed in crafts, sewing, Year of Making Stuff

Thanks to a snow day, I finished my week 4 project early! During TYoMS, I am trying to use materials and supplies that I already own and not running out every week to buy new.  Reduce, reuse, recycle, right?  So using fabric I had on hand, paint from a  previous project and a stencil image from the web, I made my very own Punk Rock Apron.  The apron pattern is from Amy Butler’s In Stitches.  Since I am not an experienced sewer, it took me a little longer, but think I could do one now in 1/2 the time.  Then I made a stencil using freezer paper and a stencil image from the web and added the London Calling image.

    Regina, the stencils are really easy, but you do want to get some fabric paint at a craft store.

    Thanks Cyn! It was fun to make, though I’m not sure of all the pleats.
