Apron Swap DONE!
I finally finished my apron for the apron swap. Only a week late. But I was sick last week. I procrastinated it for fear that I would make something awful and my partner would hate it. I still don't know if she will like it, but at least it isn't awful. I like aprons that have a top--that is the part of me that needs protecting anyway. My most favorite apron ever is one from Mexico. So I traced it onto brown paper and made a pattern. I like this apron because it makes me feel pretty to wear it. It is pink and has lace. The plaid fabric is a must to be authentic as are the flowers on the pockets. I chose dogwood blossoms because I am from Missouri, and dogwoods blooming means spring is finally here.
This is my new Kitchen Bling Bling from my dear dear Husband! Happy Day
I have already made bread in it. Happy Day. Look Look how shiny it is :)
These marvelous things were made for me by my sister, Mary. She brought them over on Valentine's Day. Isn't she amazing? I am way too lazy to do this much work on cupcakes. I was not too lazy to eat these though. hee hee.

I love you bling bling and the apron is realy great. I'll need to trace off your pattern.
ReplyDeleteI love the apron! It's very cute. And I'm super jealous that you live close enough to get treats from Mary.

ReplyDeletethe only thing is, I forgot to add seam allowance when I cut out the apron. Luckily, my swap partner is skinnier than me, so it should fit her just fine.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you here. Even in California, the dogwoods blooming are always the first sign of spring. They're so pretty, but it doesn't last long! I love this apron too. Maybe one of these days I could coerce you into making one for me. =)
