Designer Aprons

Presenting the designs to the class
Our sewing cooperative has now completed its second design challenge.  This may not sound like much of a feat for many but I feel they have grown leaps and bounds.  Previously they were not given the opportunity to develop their own design and patterns – at least not in the classroom.  Friday is homework day for Ibyishimbo; Thursday I left them with the challenge of designing and sewing their own apron.  Considering they did not know the purpose of aprons and had only seen one style in their life I was a little unsure what I would walk in to Monday morning.  I came in Monday a little leery of what I would find and much to my delighted they excelled at the assignment.  Previously we all designed our own unique patch pocket so each apron was decorated with a fantastic pocket as well as some individual detailing.  You can look forward to sampling the aprons in our upcoming spring catalogue.
