No, not a man’s tie! An apron tie… I decided to try some new patterns out the first of the year. I took a pattern idea out of a book and threw a few of my ideas into it and I am in the process of sewing it up after a day of figuring out the cutting…
The ties to the apron are 96″, yes that is ninety-six inches, long…why, because it wraps around and ties in the front. I have observed the ties wrapped around to the front is a new look that is catching on and I wanted a shot at doing it.
This morning I put the ties together, two fabrics, one front and one on the reverse side. Then it was time to turn them. The ties are 3″ across but it still took me forever to get those long girls turned right side out and almost as long to get them to lay flat under the iron.
In the picture to the left the ties are folded in eighths.
The next picture on the right is in fourths.
And this picture on my 3 foot by 4 foot styroboard I use for photography!!
Big!!
And the one in the center of the board; that is the one I have left to turn and press. I was hoping someone might want to come help me 
I hope the new apron is worthy of the price I will be putting on it to account for all of my labor not to mention the three yards of fabric!! And I can already say, “I won’t be making it again, at least not this pattern!”
As Deb would say, “Go Sew Girl” and quit your whining, it’s a joke between us!
