calling all kates...

*kate*

while sewing this i had a special friend in mind. her name is kate, although i know her as katie, and we grew up on Windy Cove Drive together...i think since we were about two years old or so.

we were quite a team to say the least :)

bit o' lace...

please note, on the right, it appears that the lace is flipped...and yes, it is, but it's not sewn like that, i just didn't notice it was misbehaving for the photo shoot. argh...
some grosgrain on the corners

Ira: the "watchful" apron

really, the name Ira means "watchful"

good to know, maybe this apron will help Ira be a little more watchful in the kitchen!

i was really excited about how this turned out- the lace below the waistband...

ira from the back, so you can get the full effect :)
