Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Beginner Serging: Machine Basics & Techniques »

Instructions

As with everything, just take your time, especially if you add more ruffles like I did.

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Functional

For: Women

Style: Romantic, Cute, Whimsical, Funky


Materials

Premium Quilter's Cotton, Nursery Print Cotton and Bulky Nylon - variegated and non-variegated,

What was your inspiration?

My oldest son was kind enough to purchase me a serger for Christmas because I have been wanting to purchase one for a very long time, so that I could get a more professional look on the garments and other items that I sew. It was/is the best gift ever. I really don't know how I have gone through so many years of sewing without owning one before this.

What are you most proud of?

I am the most proud that I was able to modify this to fit me and my style while still being able to utilize my serger and stick with the original project.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Don't be afraid to modify this apron to suit your own style. I wasn't too fond of the look of the original, but I still wanted to do the project, so that I could learn the techniques. With a little bit of imagination, you can make this apron in a style that will suit you and your very own personality.

I have just gotten my serger and I have to admit, I am kinda afraid of it! I love your apron and you have inspired me to take it out of the box. I am thinking of taking this class but can't help but wonder if it is worth the cost????

Thank you luu :-) I was very afraid too and I am an experienced sewist; however, I decided to take this class anyway. I would have been able to figure out my serger on my own, but with this class it really helped me become not afraid. For me, it was totally worth it and Amy is an excellent instructor.

Thank you Nanna :-) I used more fabric than what was called for for the ruffles. I can't remember exactly the measurements. I just played around with the fabric, until I got the look that I wanted.

I think it's very pretty! I have a serger too, but only use it for the seam edges. I was thinking of taking this class to learn more about how to use it. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you JP. This is a very interesting and informative class. I am learning a lot. I only have one more project to go for this class and then I will be done. I am hoping that Amy will present us with another serger class - maybe one with garments.
