An Apron For Sarah

I have been busy, busy, busy trying to get my sewing projects caught up. On Sunday, I finally got Sarah's (my sister) half apron completed; I only told her I would make her one about three years ago.

The yellow fabric was some 1930's reproduction I had on hand.  I 'm not sure what it was called or who it was by.  I bought the green gingham and the wooden buttons at JoAnn's one day.  Pattern for the apron is called Kitchen Kouture and it is a Linda Flake design.

So, here it is, in all it's glory and magnificence!!  I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.

Clothespin Apron

Remember hearing about the days when Grandma or Mom would sit down with their grand-daughters/daughters and teach them how to sew? Well, that was not me. I'm learning as I go...

Okay, so I have been trying to branch out from quilting. Not that I don't like making quilts, I do! I just thought it was time to try my hands at other things. So I sat down and finally made something for me {gasp!!}

I found this clothespin apron tutorial on another blog and had to make it! Right now I use my Williams Sonoma cooking apron to keep my clothespins and wear while I'm hanging clothes out on the line. This one is pretty cool because the flower print is all one huge pocket. Pretty neat huh?

AND it was kind of a family project (okay maybe not, but I'm saying it is) because JP and Logan helped pick out the fabric! {faint.}
