This was a tablecloth that I found by the side of the curb when Winnetka did their anything goes trash day last April. It is some sort of cotton/linen mix and I really liked the stripes. The blue borders offered a good contrasting solid. There were some holes, scratches, and stains in the fabric but I could work around those.
First step was to wash the fabric and see if I could get any stains out. They seemed fairly set in there.
Lainie helped with laying out and cutting the fabric. The first project was a wrap skirt with front and back pockets.
After picking apples in a neighbor's garden last fall, I decided to try my hand at making a harvest apron. I found a free pattern online and used almost all of my scrap fabric from the skirt.
I'm looking forward to trying out the apron in the garden this season. Construction of the skirt at the apron were done on a Juki 2010Q, my Bernina 1120, and my Babylock 1034D serger.
