20 Apron Shorts

I was really hoping to make this for Shorts On The Line sewing series, but alas time was not in my favor.

Drats! 

But things have a way of working out in the end and so I have it here, just in time for KCW. 

On our last romp to our favorite Japanese market for ice cream crepes and ramen (yes... ice.cream.crepes), I was skimming through Cucito's Spring 2013 Magazine and a pattern for apron shorts caught my eye. You can see Yifarn's review and pics of the magazine HERE and see the actual photo HERE.

"should I buy? Shouldn't I?"

Waffling back and forth wether or not to buy, I regretfully did not.

But the picture was forever etched in my brain. I had to make it.

Oh gosh, bubble shorts + apron = baby yumminess.

Give my kid a bowl and what's the first thing she does?

*nom-nom-nom-nom*

Well if there's no food in the bowl. Wear it.

I didn't have the pattern and so I self drafted one. I found the fabric at JoAnn's. Who knew! 

 The front band of the apron is actually the front band of the shorts and the apron ties are sewn in between the front and back waist band.

 Because the apron is so tiny and the ruffle detail is microscopic, I opted to just serge the edge versus killing myself folding a teeny hem.

I think next time I'll make the apron an inch shorter. The shorts came together quick and easy, and I can definitely see more of these in the future.
So this is my contribution for KCW. *sigh* I wish I had more time. Lily Moon and hubby are going to Comic-Con Friday and Lily wants to dress up. She wants to go as Party Poison. *shaking head*
Teenagers.
Such an interesting breed of creatures.
If I get some time, hopefully I can squeeze in another outfit for Lala. We shall see.
