Today I'm sewing the aprons I had cut out and I'm almost finished Debbie Mumm's apron, then on to the Kwik Sew. But I found the neatest trick.

If you line your aprons, if company should come unexpectedly and your baking and such, you can quickly flip your apron over and its clean and fresh looking, rather than having to run and change your apron, especially if you have old clothes on (which I usually do when I'm baking). You look clean and your apron looks fresh when answering the door.

Its really easy to do this. When your cutting your pattern out, you cut out 2 of the same of everything, making sure your material faces each other. Works perfect and is very quick to sew up!!

I'm going to line all my aprons I sew up today.

Excellent idea CJ. I would think that this would also add life to the apron and help it hold up longer in the wash.

:hurray: hey great idea. Plus the lining means liquids won't leak thru to stain underneath (says she who slops homemade veg soup on herself)
