I'm not sure why your handle is "aspiringloser" because I have to say that anybody who turns out precise work like that is a winner in my book!

Nice job.

[Aspiringloser]

Comedic irony/contradiction I guess. Thanks for the compliment.

Very nice!!!! In fact very good. I hope that you will post a picture of you wearing your creation.

I know my tie is too long but it's the one I grabbed. I've noticed horizontal lines in the fell. I had to loosen the stitches for the canvas once I finished them. I think the problem is the stitches need to be wider. On my next one I will use a longer needle when stitching the canvas to the fell so the stitches will be wider. I think I need to add an inch to my aprons in the hips. I will likely try this on my next one.

Man, did this ever turn out fantastic!

I learned a few more things on this one. I used a longer radius on my apron flare. I think the end result is much better than my past efforts. The apron edge picture my mom took came out poorly so I deleted it. I think the fringe edge of the apron needs to be pressed one more time over a ham and I think it will be where it should be.
