And Sew It Begins

And Sew It Begins
Description
Our fourth project in CRT 222 was to make an apron.  We learned how to cut fabric and sew it together using a sewing machine.  This was definitely one of the more enjoyable ones, though I still encountered problems here and there, such as learning how to thread a sewing machine. 
Process
I first had to cut two apron shaped pieces from my cloth, which was an old bedsheet, because it was so thin.  After making sure that they were the right lengths, I folded and pinned the edges.
I sewed one piece completely by itself just to get a feel for the sewing machine, and then I sewed to second piece over the first one to keep its original shape.  
Then I sewed on a nylon strap for the neck loop and straps with a buckle and fastener on each for the waist band.  I had to hand sew these since there were too many layers to fit in the sewing machine.
After laying it out, I think it looks like how I expected it to!
