Heyhey,
here are the next steps of my apron. You can find the first steps here: part1 and part2
I pinned the side seams of the top facing
and the top parts
same with the side seams of the skirt parts
because I already was pinning so well, I decided I would also pin the straps
and then I finally started sewing and cut the seam allowance short at the curve
then turned the right side out and ironed
the side seams of top parts and facing I sewed as well and serged
same with the skirt parts
now I took the back of the skirt, which will be open, so I treated it like a hem and folded half of the seam allowance to the wrong side
and folded it over again
and sewed
next, I pinned the skirt parts to the top part according to the pattern markings
at the curve, the pinning is a little tricky with 1.5cm seam allowance, which is used by vogue patterns. For me, it is the easiest to pin it at the line, where my seam will later be
and sew very slowly to fit the fabrics onto each other without any folds
mission accomplished 😉
now I cut the seam allowance shorter at the curve
and serged
Do you have any questions about this project so far? Do not hesitate to ask!
keep sewing and smiling
