We interviewed Anriko about her creation:
Kokka Fabric (KF): What did you think of the fabric you used for this project?
This cotton linen material with a basket weave has a rough yet distinctive texture. I thought it would look nice if used for something wearable.
KF: Can you tell us any special elements or ideas that you incorporated into this creation?
The motif itself comes from the fabric’s title, Cookie can, so I wanted to emphasize that. It is a very sweet looking apron, yet has a cute and mature feel because of its chic color tone.
KF: What are some tips for making this apron?
Please be careful not to stretch the material as you sew the pieces together, specifically skirt and sides of the bodice piece, since the weave of the fabric has a tendency to stretch. Many of the hems are finished by wrapping around the end fabrics. For a much cleaner finish, I recommend an extra step of ironing the fabrics first.
KF: How should we use this apron in everyday situations?
This apron makes such a statement, and it actually goes well with any outfit (lol). When you want to look cute, going to a cooking class, or at a home party … this apron is great for all these occasions.
KF:Thank you very much, Anriko! Here are sewing instructions along with step by step photos from her. Enjoy crafting!
