Latest Sewing Project

One of the little girls in the neighborhood is having a B-day bash Sunday and I ran out to get her a gift from the boys and found this ultra-cute little baking set. I was feeling rather proud of myself until I realized that I have TWO boys and sure enough either the boys or the little girl would realize that she only had ONE present from TWO boys... no problem, I would just get her an apron!

Only problem was - well two problems - I couldn't find any little girl aprons, and they are super expensive and I have this rule about not spending a certain amount of $ on birthday presents (good grief, there are 13 kids on this block and potentially that many parties!)

Well, I had an "I can" moment and decided that I would just sew up an apron. Not to mention that my dad built me this I.N.C.R.E.D.I.B.L.E. work desk and I could break it in! I thought the apron came out okay - and the desk was a fantastic space to work on :)


All folded up - the brown swatch makes a sweet little pocket and the brown/pink/lime green colors are a fun and spunky combination.


A nice big bow in the back!


The front.


And a big Thanks to my little model, who loved the apron so much that I may have to make him a "tool-belt" apron soon!
