I made a few aprons last year for Thanksgiving and Christmas that were kind of hard to do and took me a few days to sew. Then a few months ago I tried doing a few different kind of aprons that turned out pretty cute... but not as cute as the aprons that my sister and I saw last week at the local fair. So, after seeing those it inspired me to make yet another apron.
I went to Joann's and found a pattern that was close to the apron that my sister and I saw. I started it a few days ago, but had a hard time figuring out how the pattern was saying to finish up the sides. After a few hours yesterday I finally figured it out and finished it.
I added a few things that weren't in the pattern: the brown satin collar, the pearl necklace, and the pocket.
Now that I think I can make this apron faster, I'm thinking this might be what I make this year to sell at my husbands work bazaar in November.
When I was a kid my mom would fill our kiddy pool with warm water and bubbles, and we'd take a bath outside... only in the summer, of course!
So, the other night, after my kids had played outside all day, I decided to fill the little pool with warm water and bubbles and let them take a bath outside. I realize that our little pool is VERY little and as a kid we had a much bigger one, but the girls loved it! So, I think I might just have to go and buy a bigger kiddy pool for them to bathe in!
So, after sewing so many baby blankets this last winter, I took a long break from sewing. Then while I was at Joann's a few days ago I saw a couple dress patterns that were so cute I just had to get them. So, I bought some fabric (I love polka dots)... and that night I got started.
So, I don't have a zipper yet for the back, but I'll take a picture of me in the dress when I get it completely finished.
