So, craft mirrors life.
I had an idea, a dream (see previous post). I tried, adjusted, tried, adjusted, compromised. The fabric resisted my attempts at change. It had different properties (more polyester and a crisper handle) than I had originally thought.
Its always difficult to know when to keep trying, and when to accept something for what it is, and change the plan.
So I didn't end up with a pretty summer frock.
But I did get a very nice apron.
Oh well things don't always turn out as we plan. Flexible is good, I love the apron.

Ah crimplene I suspect - very popular for housecoats in the 50s and 60s and perfect for an apron - it was built to have the half life of a radioactive atom.
ReplyDeleteChanging the plan is the perogative of a creative - I applaud you for not giving up and chucking it in the rag bag....which is what I probably would have done.
