TEA AND CRUMPETS APRON KNOCK OFF for the wedding

These are the aprons I sewed for the servers at Rachel and Jake's wedding:


For the first three I took my inspiration from Antroplogie's Tea and Crumpets apron:
I think I did alright.  I scoured the internet for a good tutorial and didn't find one that met my needs.  So I just winged it and I think it was okay.  

I also made this apron:
But only because I was sick of sewing ruffles.

I also made fabric flowers to pin on.  And by "I", I mean my awesome niece Madi and my mother in law.  Here is the full on apron, with flower, in action, on my friend Steph.

I am thinking of doing a tutorial on knock off apron myself.  Except for reals - do you know how long it takes to make a tutorial?  Those women should all be thanked when they do it.  It takes FOR.EVER.  I know because I have about 4 in the making.

PICNIC SET FOR TWO


This is the picnic set I sewed up and purchased at Target for Rachel.  I used placemats to make the silverware rolls and placemats to make the bag.  (Sadly, she has since lost the bag.)  The silverware roll has a napkin, a small garbage bag, a straw, and a fork, knife, and spoon.

I found it somewhere on the blogosphere and copied it and now I can't find where I got the idea.  If someone has seen, let me know.  I'd like to give credit.
