I have made things on my own before...things like quilts, pillows, curtains, etc. Things that don't require a pattern. This would be my first endeavor at using a pattern. I bought the pattern and fabric at Material Girls (which is the cutest fabric store I have ever been in), and brought it all home to begin my solo adventure.
I actually did it! The hardest part was tracing the pattern onto butcher paper, and then cutting everything out. (I traced it so I didn't have to cut the master pattern, and I used butcher paper because I'm ghetto and didn't have tissue paper). Once all of that was done, it went together pretty quickly. It actually would have been a lot faster, except I was second-guessing myself EVERY step of the way, so I would read and reread and reread the directions before I did anything. I'm actually really proud of myself for being able to follow a pattern and make something on my own. If I can do it, then anyone can!!

We had a really good turnout and people did both aprons. However, these two are some of my favorite from the evening:
