Apron - day seven

I managed to finish the apron tonight! The last few steps went quicker than I expected, except that I sewed the buttons on the wrong side, so I had to take them off and sew them on the correct side.
I'll take photos tomorrow when the light is better.

My next project is a queen costume for Helen - she's been invited to a "Majestic Princess" dress up party. I've heavily modified a vintage dress pattern and sewed a calico test bodice today, but it was too short (even though I lengthened the original). Hopefully the next draft will fit and I can squeeze in sewing the whole costume before we move, since the party is only a few days after the move and I'm sure unpacking will be the priority in that time.
