Dusting off the sewing machine

I had to dust off the cobwebs from my machine before I could start this but it was great to get some time to sew.
It's an apron for a craft swap. I also unpacked my new Dressmakers Model to take some photos... makes it looks professional hey?
The apron turned out okay, considering the pattern was in Japanese! It was from a free pattern found here:

The fabric was a sweet floral cotton and it all came together quite easily. Well, after a little unpicking. How did I ever do ties before my loop turner....Click here for a pic of one. A very useful tool!
