Finally, here are some pictures of my men's button-down aprons. I don't want to give away all my secrets as I do sell these now, but it's so simple! You just use the front for the top, and the back for the bottom. The back gives you enough for the bottom piece and the neck ties, and the front gives you enough for the top piece and the waist ties. :] My mom made some yo-yos out of left-over fabric from them, as well as some of my other scraps.

I am making this dress in crepe back satin, (suggested fabric) but the flounce doesn't drape as nice as in the picture. Would pressing it with steam help?

So, I'm a total newbie here. I've been on Ravelry for a while and was thinking how neat it would be if there was a site like that for sewing! And then I thought, maybe there is! Googled "sewing" and found you all.
Now I just have to find my way in here and figure out how everything works. I have all kinds of projects. I plan to knit a "sweater" for my armchair. I just fetched two great dresses from my closet earlier today and they are now hanging here in the living room in…
