Over the past week, I sewed my first apron! Overall, I found this project really relaxing and fun! You can see the steps I took in my video below.

Watch me as I sew my first apron!

I had difficulty creating the box shaped stitch pattern because I couldn’t keep the lines straight and have them connect at the proper angles. Below you can see all four box shaped stitch patterns I made and their progression as I sewed my apron. The last one still isn’t perfect but I’m proud of the fact that I was able to improve each time.
