Aprons
Way back when I made a couple of aprons. Recent events bumped their blog debut. The first was purpose made for sewing – you heard it, a sewing apron.
Debbie has been wanting one to wear to the guild sewing retreat (not until August – catches all the threads) so I made her one for her significant birthday back in January.
It is of course the lovely Emmeline Apron pattern by Sew Liberated. I was really pleased with the fabric I found for the front and back (this lovely is reversable). 
Debbie and I share a love of paisley (the front) and the back features sewing themed fabric and a little applique heart. Doesn’t Debbie look lovely in it.
The second apron was for a lovely little three year old called Elena, made with one of my favourite cherry blossom fabrics.
Have you made any aprons lately?

Do you know, I haven’t made an apron since school – I never wear one at home – but that first one is so pretty, it almost looks like a dress! And you know I love the lavender colour of the second one!

I love the apron Claire, and keep thinking what a great sundress it would make!

Way too glam for an apron! I’m with Andrea Debbie would look great in a sun dress like this!
