Aprons Galore!

 I had no idea,, how many apron patterns,,,

 and to thing,, the early ones were just pre-cut tissue with no markings...

 and what was popular then is now popular again...

 It was  and still is not unusual for a pattern company to re-print a patter,, but changing out the fabric and graphics...

Aprons were fashionable and functional ....

I also notice that on a lot of the 1930-40's patterns various fabric sizes were listed,,, which leads me to wonder if it was to accommodate the different sugar/salt/flour & feed sacks often used when buying store bought, on the bolt fabric was costly.

 

One can never have enough sweet apron patterns or aprons...  

Quilt Aprons

I came across some UFO's,,, Un-finished objects... mostly unfinished.. lol!

These were stitched together nearly a year ago.. I finally got around to finishing them up..

 after I pulled them out of the box...

 backed and ready to use...

I love both the light blue tones  as well as the purples...

So, as long as I don't open anymore packed boxes,, I won't find anymore UFO's... Right!?!?!?!

My 1st attempt to Crochet a scarf,,,

Well, this is my 1st attempt at crocheting a wool scarf..

I used wool in an Ombre' color...

I am thinking of 'Felting' my scarf.. maybe...

 

Crocheting more wash rags...

I had a brunch date with some gal~pals last week,,, and not wanting to arrive empty handed,, I crocheted up 5 wash rags to place at friends place setting as a wee gift... I rolled them up and trimmed with a bit of ribbon and 2 sprigs of lavender...

they crochet up fast, while watching the Television...

 

Oh and also, I stitched up 6 cute lil 4th of July mini aprons for a swap I am in... now I just need to find some mini flags to tuck into the pocket...

 

 these are aprox 6" in size.

OK,, I think my UFO pile is getting smaller.. hope!

I finished up 1 of the last 2 aprons I had cut and ready for stitching from 2 years ago!
