Lovely aprons Florenceem. I bought some material with dogs on to make a little apron for our dog mad GD but as with most things, I just haven't got round to it yet.
Must get my sewing mojo back...

Your aprons are lovely.
Did you get the pattern on line?
I could do to make a couple of aprons. I did make one over a year ago in Cath Kidston oilcloth but I need to make some cotton ones really.

Oooh thanks for that, never sewed using a "proper" pattern before & I'm getting to the stage where I feel up to giving it a shot so I'm looking for something basic but adaptable iykwim so will have a nosey. Tempted by the 6096 dresses

Fab, I will have to dig out the old jeans I have stashed to make that denim apron I've been procrastinating over for about a year now. Years ago I bought a denim apron for my dishwasher/hubbie as he got soaked when washing up and it's great & I keep pinching it.

No pattern - just drew round an old apron. Then just did double hem all round.

I have just washed a bag of vintage linens - napkins, dressing table sets etc. Have to think what I can make with them. There are some marks which haven't come out in the wash but lots of usable bits.

Most thin dies will cut fabric too but cotton has to be backed with a lightweight vilene (sp?) or similar and felt needs to be coated with a stabiliser. I have an E-Bosser which happily cuts several of the same shape at one time.
