Objects of Desire by Sandy Gervais

Sandy Gervais has created a beautiful material range through her "Objects of Desire" I simply used a few co-ordinating pieces to create a few more gorgeous aprons as presents for Christmas, but already I could envisage that this range of fabric would be delightful for all kinds of home-made pieces.

Fat Quarter Aprons

I've been on a bit of Apron Fetish of late, although sadly I must say they have all been given away as gifts (hard to part with I must be honest)

I came across the Apron in an hour tutorial which uses a fat quarter and a 1/2yard to make a sweet, delectable apron for swishing around the kitchen or hosting some friends! Now for you more advanced seamstresse's an hour would be plenty, but it took me a little longer! I don't have an overlocker, so used an overlocking maching stitch on all edges, as well as adding top stitching to the entire apron straps (I just don't think they'd maintain their lovely shape without it!) ..

Two of these were for very special Secret Santas, and the one with the Sandi Henderson' FQ was for Jaida's special PreSchool Assistant! ... Very easy pattern to follow! I look forward to finally making one or two for my own collection as well.
