After Christmas Sew Along - week 3 - aprony birthday gift :D

I've been sick with a cold most of the week, so haven't spent much time in the sewing room. I did complete a few things for Blue Hills that I'll photograph later, and here are a couple of aprons I finished for a birthday gift. I'm posting this photo to the After Christmas Sew Along 2014. 

This is the larger size of this apron - the robot one is a birthday gift for a little boy, and the pink floral one (baby wale corduroy remnant from Joanns!) is for his BFF :) 

To go along with the aprons, I ordered a few little extra goodies from Amazon:

After Christmas Sew Along 2014 - week 1 :)

The lovely and talented Karen from Sew Much 2 Luv is hosting the After Christmas Sew Along 2014 (ACSA 2014) throughout the month of January :)  The first line of the "rules" states:  "Sew anything you like." - now how's THAT for a sew along that will suit a wide variety of tastes, eh? LOL!  I knew I wanted to join, so I made a list of projects I wanted to complete, and got several items finished and uploaded to the flickr group :)

Kids aprons - small and large - tutorial here :) Finished measurements:  small = 13.5"w at bottom, 7"w at top, 17" long at center.  Large = 17"w at bottom, 9.5"w at top, 18.5" long at centre.  The small was made for a 2 year old, the large for a 6 year old.  Hope they fit!

Aaaaaaaah Michelle @ Michelle Patterns designs such great goodies!  These bags are from the Zip Pocket Pouch pattern - the blue ones are the size Medium (4.5"t x 6") and Tall (5.5"t x 4.5").  I have shark and flower charms coming to make zipper pulls for the shark and flower bags :D

Princess cape - fit for a princess!  Tutorial here - I made the small size, as this is for a 2 year old :)  Finished measurements - 22"w x 19.5"t (measured at widest points) :)
