I am going to have to make one of these aprons. It is too cute. I wonder if my Christmas apron fabric (already cut for a slightly different pattern) can be wrangled to fit this pattern… There is just something about the waist on this apron that makes it look more flattering.

I did it. I made a tea cozy. It is made from some light canvas material with batting and felt lining. I’m not thrilled with it, but I did come by the design organically. I measured my teapot and sort of shaped it from there. The end result it not as thrilling as I was hoping for (yes, I want a thrilling tea cozy, is that so wrong?), but it is a couple of magnitudes better than the dish towel I usually wrap around the tea pot.
( I do seem a bit obsessed with the pink stripes lately).

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.
The no-foot-pedal thing was freaky at first. I felt off-balance and rushed. And then I realized that I was trying too hard — that this machine doesn’t need as much guidance as my old one. 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:
