some pics

here are a few pics from aprons i made this weekend :)

if you look closely, you can see my new label sewn inside this apron...heehee! 

feels so professional...

the adelaide...for sale on etsy

the cecelia- for sale on etsy

the heather...a custom order for an "urban, retro girl"

has layers of swirl fabric, mod fabric, and "think green" fabric :)

hmm, this one is unnamed...it's also part of an order. guess i need to find out the receiver's name! 

jubilant josephine...

oh josephine, you're going to steal hearts looking that good!

this fabric is spunky, it's alternating yellow and organge apples, yum-o!

the waistband is a cream grosgrain with buttons every couple inches...

no worries, i didn't stay up all night sewing buttons, i bought the ribbon that way :)

coolest part of josie: this pocket is made from a hand-crocheted and hand-stitched doilie...

an amazing find at an antique store over the weekend!!
close up of the amazingness...each flower is made of tiny knots.
what meticulous work!

back side

"you are a sewing machine!" says Suzy...tis true!

cheers to collette!

*she's for sale on etsy

three gores and a funky pocket make up a really girly, cheery apron

there's a wocket in my pocket, oh wait, those are just some darling ruffles :)
clean seamed too!
buttons on each bottom corner

backside

etta...

At last, my love has come along, my lonely days are over, and life is like a song

*nota bene: this is made of barkcloth from the 1940s...does that make etta a vintage piece?

precious pleats

ribbons galore! i like that i used two ribbons here...and they are only sewn together on the front of the apron, after that, they're on their own! adds some dimension i thought...

etta is sold! but there's more where that came from if you'd like one out of that same awesome 1940s barkcloth!

and this one is MINE! haha. i have neglected myself throughout this apron journey,

so the nellie is mine, all mine.

i'm hooked on pleats...

of course, her backside...i just like you to get an idea of the ribbon and the finish...and what your rear will look like when you're wearing your apron...lol

take care!!

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

what a fine apron...mighty fine!

weekend sewing pics via cell phone

apologizing in advance for very blurry pics...but they're all i have of these aprons!

bonjour bernadette...

mother-daughter time!

meet the cady and the kimmy... a stellar mother-daughter team :)
pocket...

texas tess!

this was a custom order for a patriotic friend in houston!

she wanted red,white, and blue and she got it!!

blurry pocket pic, but i thought it was cute with the yellow fabric peeking through there...

that's all i have for now :) more to come, i'm sure!

LOVES!!

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...

makes it ultra fem
ira from the back, so you can get the full effect :)
personlized tag...this one is for my coworker's grandma Ira

who doesn't love rick rack?!

handmade pocket...

don't mind the "winged" look, ha, i tucked those puppies in and changed my pattern really fast! ha! hence the addition of some buttons :) i'm sneaky like that...
