The curtain shop in town was having a remnant sale and I picked up a lovely piece of cotton with a vegetable print. It was crying out to be made into an apron and I know I had seen just the pattern in Amy Butler's In Stitches.
Co-incidentally it was also the assignment from May's In Stitches sew-along. If you own the book and haven't come across this Flickr group yet, I urge you to go over and take a look. Each month a project from the book is nominated and a winner chosen from the pictures submitted. Having won the April prize, I am a big fan of the format!
But seriously, it's a great place for beginner sewers like me to pick up hints on completing the projects, and a chance to see how the choice of fabric influences the outcome. Because, for me, at the end of the day it's all about the fabric.

umm your summer hat? Have you seen the weather outside? Are you responsible? It doesn't usually rain like this until I've bought some summer clothes and a pair of sunglasses!

I'm on my way over to the flickr group.

Love the apron and like the sound of the "sew along" you mention so I guess I'm going to have to learn!
