Oh boy, I sure wish I could claim ownership of the ruffle here.....I cheated and used ruffled quilt binding....just like applying bias tape.....and makes a nice finish....easy squeezy!!!!!!

Good to see you Na....you have been missed!

Don't you dare try it on the cat!!! Dogs don't mind being made to look silly,
but cats..........you'll pay in the end.

I've missed you too Naomi, but I know you are also doing so many other things.

Well, however the ruffle came about, Bev, it's sure cute on that apron. I'm waaayyy
overdue for a new apron..........been too busy playing with treadles and their parts.
It's such a thrill when to get one sewing a decent stitch for the first time in decades!
Yeah, I'm a thrill junkie..........LOL

Bonnie, I really like the apron. Is the pocket patchwork or is it the pattern of the fabric?

Patchwork~a friend of mine works at a fabric store that supplies mostly upholstery
fabrics, and she periodically sends me boxes of samples.
I've gotten some neat prints that are
perfect for patching together or making pockets

Lisa, I used to be able to buy bias tape, ribbon, etc. by the yard at a fabric and trim store. This place was busier than all get out. Then, one day I decided that I needed to stop and get some discounted trim, and they were gone, and no where to be found. Sigh. It is so nice because you use what you need, and there isn't any left overs from a package. I don't know if Bev has leftovers or not.

Lisa! LOL Bias Tape Mama!
You go on the kitty beds! I've got one you made from Cat-in-the-Hat fabric
that is used continually. Thankfully washable too! It's positioned where kitties
have a view of the neighbors walnut tree (always full of squirrels! ;) )

Good tutorial for making your own bias tape. I will do this although I did purchase a roll of white bias tape from the seller.
