And More Aprons....

No comments:
I had some down time,, while the new flooring was being installed,,, so I stitched up 3 more aprons..
 unfortunately the true colors are a bit washed out,,,
 this one is more of a teal/purple and rust color... the floral part is a giant pocket, stitched down the middles and a small hankie pocket  is on the one side...
this one is a combination or rose and burgundy,,, again, washed out photo.... I trimmed the little pocket with pink ball fringe...
and as always, yoyos to trim the waist band...
I love using up scraps  of fabric...

Aprons are popping up everywhere in my sewing room..
I was able to get 3 more completed yesterday...
Sewing is great therapy...
 got to use up some fabric scraps from the cobbler aprons that I stitched up...
 I make really long ties and embellish with yoyos....
 I love being able to use up fabric bits...
I used 3 different fabrics to make this full/wide pocketed apron...with a hankie pocket on the large pocket...
I also finished up another cobbler apron and 2 repurposed aprons last week...
 my cobbler apron,,, luv the full pockets...
 I made this sweet hostess apron from a pair of sheer cafe' curtains...
and this fun one use to be a pillow case...
Gotta love repurposing....

'Sew' many projects

No comments:
'Sew' many projects have kept me busy and off the computer...
 I made a couple of 'Cobbler' style aprons, this on and a black one (below)
 made this apron from a pillow casde...
 got hooked on making jean butt bags,,, I made a total of 6 of them,,, 5 as gifts and 1 for me
 this bag I made from a little girls denim skirt...
 this is the one I made for myself,, the label on the jeans is "Grace"..
 I helped my friend host her Tea Party for our locally Auxillary club meeting...
 another apron I made,, but this time from a kitchen cafe' curtain.
 this is also a cobbler apron, the back side.
my recent 'altered art' project,,, a little 'keep sake' book, made from a used pattern envelope.
Plus I have been participating in "min I apron swaps'',,, 5 so far...
I now have enough mini aprons to make a cute mini apron banner....
 
Now to go play in my craft room... I am sure there is more mischief that awaits me!
