ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about that, Molly! I've added the link. You can also find it here: http://www.joann.com/static/project/1208/293759P1.pdf -Kim
DeleteAm I missing something....#1 in the directions says "Cut one front bib following pattern" I am not finding the pattern. Is there a pattern? If so, where do I find it?
ReplyDeleteHi! I've added the link above -- sorry about that! You can also find it here: http://www.joann.com/static/project/1208/293759P1.pdf -Kim
DeleteWhen and how do you attach the apron bin to the bottom of the apron? Sorry if I'm not seeing it....
ReplyDeleteHi Krista!
DeleteI'll check with our inspiration team :)
Kim @ Jo-Ann
Also, what piece are you pressing the seamand tto stitching on in step 24? Sorry to ask so many questions, but this is super cute and I really want to make one :)
ReplyDeleteHi Krista!
DeleteI believe that's a top stitch on the bib's ruffle, but I will check on this, too :) -Kim @ Jo-Ann
Thanks Kim!!!!!!
DeleteOk, so I made one!!!! Had to fudge it a bit but it all worked out. You can find it on Instagram under either my user name (sewitpretty) or hashtag joannsfabric. Thanks for the help!
ReplyDeleteHi Krisa! I'll definitely check it out :) I heard back from our team, and adding the bib should have been in step 15 -- I'll add it above :)

I bought the 5 coordinating fabrics listed under "Supplies and Tools" and none of the fabrics (being cut at 3/8 yd) are long enough for cutting out the apron in step 2. The length at 3/8yd is ~15" not 19 3/4". Am I missing something?
ReplyDeleteI'd buy 1yd of each fabric just in case, you can never have "too much" lol. I always end up buying a bit more than my pattern calls for in case I mess up somewhere.
DeleteYou could do a patchwork out of some fat quarters to make this and it would look cute i bet! I love this fabric, it's so "earthy"
Same problem as above. Apron piece calls for dimensions that don't work well with 3/8 yd size of fabric. Please advice.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Jennifer
When I try to click on the link for the bib pattern is says the URL is invalid. Has the pattern been taken down?
ReplyDeleteThanks, :)
