Hello, everyone.
This started out to be a post from my Samsung phone, but the electronic mice ate it. I don't know why the blogger interface won't let me make posts with a photo from my phone any more, up until a few months back it worked fine.
Anyway, I emailed the photo from my phone to my email and here it is:
This is from a spring-themed charm pack. I'm making a charm pack apron for an Easter gift, as y'all can see it's a very spring-y color assortment.
The long strips between the many charm-pack squares are from a separate piece of fabric. (Don't faint, all of this was bought for this project!) The general appearance will be like the Christmas apron that was recently made, only in spring colors.
The progress on it is that the name strip at the top has been embroidered, and the layout is done, so tomorrow I will probably begin stitching together the squares that have been laid out.
The pattern calls for dividing the charm pack in half, then one half is split into even parts and reassorted and pieced together, while the other half is split into three parts and reassorted and pieced together. These would be the ones with a small horizontal piece below a square in the picture. After all this piecing you lay out the two kinds of squares and then sew them together.
I am using the method developed by Bethany of Shabby Fabrics to make a fully lined pocket. It's very functional. I love my Christmas apron that was made after this method!
(After this was posted I found a HUGE blank space with the scattered remnants of the lost text. And the failed upload of the photo, too. It's all cleaned up now.)
