Hand out candy in style with an adorable Spooky Buddies apron! A holiday apron is so much fun. After stitching the Santa Buddies apron, I knew I had to make one for Halloween using Bonnie’s Spooky Buddies.
The Hobby Lobby apron stitched up in no time, so you could easily make one for this weekend. I chose the Spooky Buddies’ bat to match my black and pink apron, with a couple of adjustments.
The bat uses Lavender and Dark Gold GlitterFlex. Since I was using a black background, I chose lighter shades of GlitterFlex, namely Amethyst and Rainbow Orange.
Start by lightly creasing the bib portion of the apron along the horizontal and vertical centers. That helps with centering the embroidery design.
Mark centering lines on hooped cutaway stabilizer and align the center and crosshairs of the apron on the center and crosshairs of the hooped stabilizer. Use temporary spray adhesive or glue stick to hold the apron in place.
Run a set of basting stitches to hold the apron to the stabilizer. The bat design starts out with a placement stitch for the head.
Use glue stick inside the placement stitch to hold the Amethyst GlitterFlex.
The next color stop will secure the GlitterFlex to the apron. Tear or trim the GlitterFlex away from the tack-down stitches.
Continue the embroidery sequence, fusing GlitterFlex when directed. You can get a refresher on applique with GlitterFlex here.
The finished bat is so darn cute, you won’t want to put him away after Halloween!
