It came at time when I had to buy stuff for the house, hate buying housy stuff, I would wander over to the material section where I felt happier.
Now normal people would know and recognise that Ikea is a furniture store so the fabric would be geared towards curtains and upholstery. I don't let that stop me, my motto is "if it's pretty, get it if you can afford it and worry about what to do with it later!"
Buyers remorse kicked in when I realised I had this hella stiff cotton fabric on my hands with birds, branches and its bright orange to boot!
Frantic internet searches threw up folks who had used it to make all matter of garments, however, I'm not going out on road in this as a skirt or as bag. That's. just. not. happening.
Days, weeks, months, years pass... and then it hits me.
Make an apron fool!
I fancied a twee "girly" type of apron to go with the kitsh design of the fabric. I used my ruffle foot to make the frill at the bottom, love that foot, but it'snot designed to handle fabric this thick.
I love my two huge pockets. Now what to cook!?
