For Christmas Birddog and I sewed aprons for our three nieces and one for their mother. I was sooo jealous. They were so cute and colorful. I wanted to keep them sooo bad, good thing they were too small for me. No worries, with the leftovers, a few trips to the thrift store, and a hard time deciding at the Quilting Loft, I started on a binge to make me one too! Or maybe three or four.
This is going to be my Christmas Apron, I was almost done, but I ran out of bobbin thread and moved on to making lefse instead. I'll finish the apron this weekend and I'll be ready for next Christmas. It seems silly to have an apron for just one holiday, but it will go nicely with the apron Birddog got for Christmas! (I'll get a picture of him in here soon)
So, during my search to find patterns and ideas I came across this website: Sassy Flirty Aprons. I was so excited about the concept of getting an apron in the mail, I signed up! The deal is to make an apron for a complete stranger, and in return, have a complete stranger make one for me!
This is just a smattering of the fabric I was sifting through to see what I have on hand. Maybe there's a good way to organize it; color, theme, size... maybe later.
This is supposed to be a backpack for me. Birddog has had it in the works for about 2 years now. If you'll notice the lower right corner, you'll see what's slowing him down. Crazy video games!
So it might take some time to get my umpteen zillion (3 or 4) aprons all figures out, but until then…Yum Yum, delicious, FUN!
