Tie One On / Scrap Crafty~ Smock Apron

Here is my smock apron for this month's TOO. I was determined to make a smock that didn't look like a preggie top and had at least a bit of a figure flattering cut to it, I am soo not into frumpy! I made this smock from a vintage pillow case and lots of lavender bias tape. Here are a few pic's where I was trying to go for a 'spilt milk' theme.


Since my house doesn't have a porch I 'used' a house down the street that was for sale (hence the lock box that I didn't take note of!!)



here is a detail of the cool vine-ish stitch pattern my sewing machine can do. This was my first time using the special stitches and this one proved hard for me to keep it straight, as you can see. I do like the green thread contrast with the lavender bias tape, it has that going for it!
