One of the things I had wanted to do in college but didn't get around to was take a photography class, so this summer I am finally doing that. As it turns out, I am allergic to film developing chemicals (mostly the 'stop' but also the fixes), but I digress. Those same chemicals that make me get hives also are very bad for clothing, so aprons are required. Instead of using the ugly school aprons or buying one, I'm whipping one up this afternoon while enjoying my only day off from everything.
The pattern I chose was See N' Sew B5551 because I didn't want to have to concentrate on details on an apron I'm going to spill things on, but also didn't want a shapeless sheet. I picked a sturdy fabric from the red tag bin at Joann's, and had the project done in about 1 1/2 hours (because I'm slow).
I deviated some because I didn't want to spend a lot of money on detailwork for what is essentially a smock that prevents chemical stains, but I had to add the squiggly ribbons for a little detail. I love squiggly lines.
