I am about halfway through constructing Anya’s art smock using the pattern I found on thediymommy.com<\/a>. \u00a0I had quite a bit of the laminated fabric from making her backpack<\/a>, and searched for something that would use it. We happened across this smock and it looked like it would use almost all of the remaining fabric. (Wasn’t wrong – from the one yard of fabric<\/a>, I have a 16″square).<\/p>\n

Other than my inability to machine-stitch bias tape, this is a really quick project. Couple hours – even with a tiny helper. I find it\u00a0easier to cut fabric to a pattern if the paper pattern isn’t cut\u00a0right<\/em> along the line, so I leave a half inch overhang around the pattern.\u00a0It works just as well, though, to have\u00a0overhang\u00a0that continually varies from 1\/8″ up to an inch. And Anya loves that she\u00a0can do some of the cutting for our crafts.<\/p>\n

Once we printed and cut the paper pattern, I cut the two pieces of laminated cotton.\u00a0Sewed the two pieces together at the shoulder – since laminate does not seem fray, I used a simple straight stitch instead of the serger. I had cut quite a lot of bias strips\u00a0to make piping for\u00a0the bag. Double folded the strips to create bias tape for the edging and started pinning it in place.\"img_20161111_195246\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The front of the bias tape is stitched on, and now I’m hand-stitching\u00a0the back of the bias tape. Some day I’ll learn this “stitch in the ditch” technique \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
