Here is a super easy tutorial for a 2*10 apron.
What's a 2*10 Apron you ask? Well, hop over to Stash Manicure (click the red link to go) and you will find my tutorial full of pictures on how to make an apron for yourself or for gifts.

I was asked by Rae Ann to do a guest post on her amazing blog. Stash Manicure is a place where you'll find wonderful ideas from other bloggers on how to organize and start using your stash of fabric. Even though we may find ways of using up our stash, it doesn't mean we can't buy more fabric...right?
Sorry to my friends who are also friends on Stash Manicure and you saw this tutorial yesterday, but it's a good one and I wanted to share it with all of you.

The aprons will make great gifts and they are super fast to make. Head on over and leave a comment there if you'd like and let me know what you think.

Thanks a million for always being there,

Karen, I love that tutorial. I have been meaning to make an apron to hang out clothes and keep the clothespins in the pocket but I have too much else to do right now. This would be perfect. Plus, I am constantly seeing fat quarters I love and I don't dare buy too many to add to the stash of remnants I have now with no purpose in mind. Thanks for this.
ReplyDeleteKaren ~ You are such a dear! I LOVED your tutorial yesterday on my Stash Manicure blog. Thanks for taking the time and putting this all together. I can honestly say... they don't get much better than that!
ReplyDeleteThe aprons are fabulous! I especailly love the one with the pocket. It is great for wearing
around the house to put things in as I pick up.
We would all love to hear from you again soon and have you share with us more of your wonderful talents!
And a BIG THANKS for the nice post about us today. How kind!
Karen, although I haven't a lot of time at the moment I DO always read your blog even though I'm not leaving comments...
ReplyDeleteYou never let me down with your ideas. Thanks a lot.
I'm off to see this new blog to me

ReplyDeleteOnce again, Karen, you have provided me with an idea for our church fair! Quick and easy is what I like. Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteI've been looking for a easy apron tutorial, thanks so much. As always another great Blog Post.
ReplyDeleteKaren that is an easy tutorial for
ReplyDeletebeginners or anyone else. Boy that
is a great way to use up your stash.":O)
Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteI saw your post on Stash Manicure. It is exactly what I've been loooking for. I have a couple of budgies out the back in a large cage, which I cover up each night with a double bed cotton blanket. Each morning I'm left with a couple of handfuls of pegs, plus the blanket to wrestle with. The apron with the pockets will be an absolutely perfect solution to my problem. I've been looking through you blog. It is awesome! Your tutorials are great...really clear to follow and you have fabulous ideas. Thank you so much for sharing. I'll be visiting regularly. :)
I love the one with the pocket in it, I am thinking Christmas presents, super simple.

Hi, I love spending time at you site. I was wondering since you are so good to do tutorials, how did you get the page categories on your sidebar? I would love to have pictures of various rooms etc. and if you click it would bring up the post for that room. If you ever have a spare moment to help I would be very thankful. Lisa
ReplyDeleteKaren, This apron is adorable! Please take a second to stop by my post and see the apron I made inspired by this tutorial! Thanks so much, I really appreciate it! Sue
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute! I'm also admiring some of your other projects over on the right (and drooling over your gorgeous sewing room!)

Stash Manicure seems to be gone. Would really like to see the tutorial. Do you have it posted (or saved) elsewhere?
ReplyDeleteThe blog is no longer there, can you post the tutorial here?
