Tea and Crumpets Apron

I love Anthro's Tea and Crumpets apron. So much so that I based last year's Easter dresses on its beautiful and timeless style. This is an apron that I recently made as a wedding gift. I'll admit that I was tempted to keep it for myself. But I know it went to a good home, so I was content giving it away.

I think the first real thing I sewed was an apron... they truly are the perfect "first sewing project" for those wanting to learn basic sewing. They introduce gathering, pockets, ruffles, and piecing patterns all on a basic level. If you'd like to sew this apron, you can easily adapt my ruffle apron tutorial (link) to add the tuxedo ruffles. Happy sewing!

I love it, and the fabric choices. I've made many an apron to give away for gifts, but somehow I'm still left without one. I need to break down and just make one for myself.

i embroider, and occasionally alter pieces from church sales (cheap, so who cares if i mess up), but am so nervous about starting a more extensive project.

an apron is a great idea!
