~Aprons~


Recently, my Mom gave me an apron(below) that my Dad made in Junior High for my Grandmother. I just love it, and was so inspired to try and make an apron myself.

This is my hostess apron. I LOVE this fabric. It is from Tracy Porter's collection at Joann's.


My first full length apron. I thought this fabric was so darling, and it was on the $2 a yard rack at Joann's!


There were quite a few patterns to choose from, but this is the one I ended up using. I have not used a pattern in years, so I made a few mistakes, but overall I love the way they turned out.

  3. Great job! I just came across the apron I made in home ec in 8th grade, the first and last thing that I sewed. I am dying to learn how to sew again. I love the fabrics you chose.

  7. Wonderful aprons! I have a sewing machine that I just stare at. Wish I had a sewing "coach" to get me started again! Anyone in NE FL?
