the chefalopod apron!

i finally got around to doing a little sewing for myself!  first, i sewed up this apron that came printed on the fabric from spoonflower.  it’s a “chefalopod“–an octopus whose legs form the ties for the apron.  when it came out during the apron contest, i knew i had to have it.  (click on the link to see the full panel in all its silly glory)

the measuring cup is also a pocket.  i made mine by cutting out a second layer in muslin, then sewing it all together like a pillow (instead of using seam binding).  the only alteration i made is that i hate ties that tie behind my neck, so i sewed the top legs to the side legs like this (we’ll see if it works!):

apparently now there’s also a squid oven mitt, hmmm….
