no foot pedal

I finally had some time to play with my new toy. I picked some fabric from my stash and whipped up an apron. I followed the “pattern” for a vintage apron in Amy Karol’s Bend-the-Rules Sewing.

Once I realized that and relaxed, it got easier. I don’t know if I will stick with the no pedal configuration but it is interesting.

Here is D. modeling the final product:

I like the pocket best:
