Finally Getting Started

So I've been having problems with my sewing machine. I was attempting to repair a skirt a couple of nights ago and kept getting a lot of looping thread. So today I took to a sewing store and had it looked it. Wouldn't you know it...it was something simple. I had been using metal bobbins that I bought at Wal-Mart. Using the plastic ones that came with the machine worked fine....OPERATOR ERROR!

So I was excited to come home and finally get started on the apron:

Here is the fabric combinations I want to use for the aprons:





Tomorrow I will finish laying out and cutting the fabric. I do realize that I will have to lengthen the halter top by a few inches. It needs to be 16" from my collarbone to below my bustline (darn these boobs!!!!) I am nervous about cutting the fabric, but obviously the only way I will learn is to just dive in and do it.
Sew Happy!
