IF YOU ARE MY SISTER-IN-LAW STOP READING NOW!
Haha - ok, I know I wouldn't stop reading even if someone told me not to, but I tried.
I'm really excited about this Christmas present!! It just turned out so stinking cute!
My SIL pointed out this adorable apron from Anthropologie a few weeks ago:
It really wasn't that expensive - $37. But I figured I could make it for a fraction of the price and use the money saved to buy other goodies! ;) In total I spent $10!
I had no idea where to start, so I used this apron tutorial as a basic template and adjusted measurements and details as needed.
This is the first time I have made and used piping - but I love it!! It adds such cute detail!
Look here - I even made a super creepy dummy out of a pillow, my bra, and a turtleneck! Hahaha! I can't stop laughing at how creepy it is. I tried to get a photo of the apron on me, but that wasn't working out so well, so creepy pillow it was!
Right now I have the rosette that Bonnie made for me on the top. I'll be making a different flower more similar to the inspiration photo, but I wanted to put an embelishment on for now!
I'll be making more of these for other family members, so I'll post those when they're done!
Here are the piping details:
More Christmas goodies will be on their way soon!
Cheers!

Oh my gosh, I can just picture you wrestling your bra onto a pillow... too funny! The apron is adorable, your self taught sewing skills are amazing!
You just started sewing pretty recently right? This is amazing & I'm so impressed. How long did it take you to do?
i am not your sis in law, but can i be????? that is way too cute!!!
I don't know which is better...the creepy pillow thingy or the apron :). Just kidding...the apron is stinking cute! Great job!
Such a cute apron! I would be thrilled to find this under my Christmas tree.
Very pretty! I love the ruffles. You did a fabulous job on it!
You did a fantastic job on it! It looks exactly like the Anthro one! I have never tried piping before and yours is awesome. I'd love it if you linked it up to my party!

this is adorable!!! I'd love to get a present like this for christmas lol. I registered for a polka dot pink apron, hoping someone gives it to me. :)
This is so cute! I totally want one! Maybe I can get my mom to make one for me since I can barely sew a straight line. :)
I'd love for you to link up and share: http://tutusandteaparties.blogspot.com/2011/12/pinteresting-party-with-christmas.html
This is fantastic! I was pining over the same one in Anthro. I can't justify spending that kind of cash on an apron right now, so I'm so glad you posted this! Thanks a bunch! Merry Christmas!
Oh, wow! You did a great job of recreating the original. I LOVE those colors. Your sil is one lucky lady!

Your apron turned out great! I am sure she will love it!
Love the creepy pillow form! It worked, didn't it?
The apron is fab! I always ogle those aprons when i make it to an Anthropologie and am determined to make my own...someday...when crazy stops...
But that could be never. hmmmm....
That's extra cute! You don't even need to have a good outfit on to host something if you have that apron!
Super cute!!! I'm obsessssssed with making aprons, they're so fun!! :)
Lucky SIL to get such a thoughtful and darling gift! Did she read your post and spoil your surprise?!!!!

This turned out awesome. I can believe how identical it looks to the Anthro apron! Your sis-in-law is a lucky girl. Your piping turned out fabulous for the first time. Look at you go with your itty bitty seams too. Love the 'creepy pillow' too. Ha! Thanks for sharing!
