What 548 Yards of Thread Looks Like

Hooray!  They are done.  Just barely in time.  If you are ever thinking of sewing for hours and hours with a sinus headache I strongly recommend against it.  I survived and the aprons fared pretty well.  Only one run in with the seam ripper.  A new record.  As I was sitting at the machine, dosed up on  Dayquil and garlic, boo hooing my fever and general crummy feeling-ness I got to thinking about Project Runway.  They create elaborate entire outfits from scratch without patterns in about a quarter of the time it took me to make seven simple aprons.  They must be robots or have a secret crew of elves or mice finishing their garments off camera.  Off to crash on the couch.  Hoping I don't have to see chocolate brown thread for a long, long time.
